I load with blue dot, bullseye, and unique and found blue dot and bullseye to be about the same cleanliness wise, but unique to be, well, uniquely dirty haha. Depending on your exact recipe, sometimes adjusting your crimp or primer can also result in cleaner or more complete burn, but in my experience 9mm and 45 are just dirty calibers. I never fully looked into it, but I found mild to low charge weights to be the dirtiest, but they could have also been coincidence. on a side note, and take it with a grain of salt because I have not certified it myself, a friend has switched over to cfe-Pistol and swears it is the cleanest pistol powder he has used in ages. Personally, I found cfe223 rifle to be some of the funniest stuff I ever tried (223/5.56) so I likely won’t be trying their pistol iteration unless I really have to, but it may be worth looking at if cleanliness is your goal as well.</blockquote>
