As long as the patterns are consistently evenly-spaced and you are breaking the clays a little unburned powder isn't an issue. Shorter barrels can cause this this but it can happen in 28" barrels as well. Maybe try the next hotter primer??

Thanks guys for the input. I think I will just shoot the 24 gram load. It really looked good. The 3/4 has some holes in it. I think I will shoot up some that I already have loaded then maybe try the 15 1/2 grain load. Maybe I don’t like shooting a load when I don’t know where I am A little powder won’t hurt. I clean it anyway. I have some Holland and holland fiber wads. That should clean it. . My barrels are 26 inch. Could be it.

I think we can trust the veracity of Scott's statement.

700X has been my standard powder for 12 and 20's for years. I never thought of it as dirty. Now, if you want to talk dirty powders, 800X is at the top of my list, ( but it was also my preferred load for 1 1/4 oz field trial loads)

Thanks to all for the input..... seeing the fact I have nearly 20lbs of it. I am just going to shoot it. Hopefully I will be a descent shot by the time I finish it..... Plan on practicing on clay over the summer.

Kirk - If you're somewhere near Mich, and want to sell the 700x, let me know.
