Hi all,

I have been loading 7625 in 12g AA/HS, STS, Nitro, and GC hulls with the CB 1078clone (21 grains) and Win 209 primers. This breaks clays when I am on, but burns very dirty. Would a hotter primer (Federal 209) burn cleaner? Or should I use a cleaner burning powder (any suggestions). The low pressure and recoil are great on this old SxS (Parker GH/Smith Grade 3), not to mention my shoulder and I have no problem cleaning after each shoot but for some reason I tend to associate this residue with an inefficient load, although it came from the Hogdon's site. All advice and recommendations are greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
john
