What's a good, clean-burning powder for standard .40S&W and .45ACP loads?

[Tengoo]

I've got a ton of brass saved up and I'm starting to get a hankering to set up my press and reload some practice ammo. Mostly I'll be loading .40 and .45 auto...180gr and 230gr bullets, respectively...hence my question.

Thanks for any info and suggestions...

I ran a test on about 12 different 45 ACPs and found that the 200 SWC over 4.3 of Titegroup worked best in most of them.

In my 40 I find the 155 SWC very accurate and soft with 3.5 of TG. with the 180 lead bullet, the 3.5 of TG is also good, but not max velocity. i load for accuracy.

Titegroup works for me and burns clean with good accuracy.

VIT N320 works good for me for .40 - accurate and fairly clean.

i run 4.7 grs of VV340 Under a 180grs 40S&W for both G35 and cz TS . very clean and it meters well..

I use n320 for 9mm, 40, 38 & 45. Very clean burning.

Titegroup is my choice. Bullseye is also a good option if you don't mind the soot in your casing.

N340 for both really clean burning. meters nice

Titegroup for 9, 40 and 45. Meters very well in my dillon 650, accurate and uses less powder than some others I've used. Finding it is another story
