Seeing how we're not shooting auto's it's only dirty as the last shot. Shoot a 100 or so black powder shells if you want to see dirty barrels. Takes about 15 minutes to clean a double.

I don’t worry about clean powders in SXS guns either. I do want full burn no unburned grains left in the barrel.

Having said that Clays powder burns a lot cleaner. Few years back I was shooting a pair of S&W 625 .45 Acp revolvers in IDPA. Reloads are on the clock and 6 moonclipped cartridges have to drop in the chambers at one time gravity alone. 1911 pistols push one at a time in with a strong spring. Guys always had trouble with Unique powder they regularly used in 1911 loads chambering in the revolver.

Fix was switching to Hodgdon Clays. You can shoot all day without brushing out the cylinder. Is that important in a SxS ? Not to me.
