    What do your cases look like?
    Is Belmont clean burning or are they pretty sooty?
    I use Viht N320 in 9mm and .40
    Love the stuff but it is bloody dear.

    You get a few particles of unburnt powder but the cases are clean enough to reload.
    Ring of fire indeed...!!!

    It's rebranded Winchester 296, so am hoping it works well as a replacement for 2205
