Was out at the range today shooting some 180gr cast loads with titegroup, and find it quite dirty. Using 4.5grs. Any cleaner burning alternatives?

I've only tried WSF so far, but its pretty clean.
WSF is my first choice and Win 231/HP-38 is my second. I wouldn never use something as fast burning as Titegroup (or Bullseye or others) as that's a lot of stress on the brass in the chamber.

I have some HP-38 so will try it out. Will pick up some WSF too. Thanks guys.
I'll add AA#5 to the list of clean burning powders.

I like herco for 40 cal lead bullets its a little dirty too though .
Red Dot for light to mid-range loads.
Blue Dot is my go to powder for 40SW. I was using Power Pistol but it's become very difficult to find.

If you don't want 1984 you're going to need some 1776.

WST is my choice seems to be clean, I rag off the pistol after a 200~300 round range season and do it again the next weekend. After just over 1k rounds I took the gun apart and hoppies everything down and put a few drops of grease on the frame rail(XD 40) and start over. I could have went longer but it started to bother me lol. I've used Herco but after 500 or 600 rounds the gun started cycling slower from gunk build up and has to be cleaned YMMV.

Part of the filth might be from your boolits. I've never found titegroup to be very dirty. It's not a favorite powder for differen reasons.
