AutoComp vs International Clays for 9mm minor?

[aridan]

Shooting the Shadow, I'm running out of my N320, and would like to try something different, since N320 is hard to come by.

I already tried the Titegroup before the VV and found it to be too dirty at light loads - which is what I'm using.

Someone had suggested to look into Winchester AutoComp and International Clays. If anybody has had experience with these powders in 9mm, please share your observations.

TIA.

I use clays (not international) with a 124 aim bullet
average velocity is 1040 fps with 3.9 grains power factor is 129
average velocity is 1072 fps with 4.1 grains power factor is 133
its not that dirty, recoil is light

Just curious, what is considered a light load for Tightgroup? I have a bunch loaded but haven't shot them yet and am hoping they are cleaned than Blue Dot. That stuff is filthy crap.

I load 4gr with a 125gr JHP. Also filthy, that's why I'm looking for alternatives.

@johnsks: thanks for the info. Checking BEnos forums, looks like Autocomp and International Clays is more suitable for major loads.

My standard 9mm load.

Of course I'm using a 125grain cast 9mm bullet. Mine of course. PROMO being my favourite powder, I load a very nice 3.5 grains of this fabulous powder for a nice target load. PROMO is just like RedDot. RedDot/PROMO is a very versatile powder that can be used in almost every handgun application. Avoid magnums but, PROMO is very energetic. PROMO is sold in 8 pound canisters only.
