7625 seems to be dirty if I am shooting light payloads. I shot some 7/8 with alot of powder residue left. Upped it to 1 oz. and the dirty problem got lots better. I tend to agree that it is a sign of an inefficient load. Dave

I have used SR 7625 for years in my 16 gauge and 12 gauge light loads. When it became a little hard to find around here I switched to PB and found it to be a much cleaner burning powder. As Frank stated be careful about substituting different primers as the effect pressure.I use Winchesters to good effect.

I've used 800X a lot, and it also is dirty, but the reduced recoil and (in my opinion) better patterns make the inconveience of a dirty barrel worth it,

I've found Clays to be one of the cleanest burning for low pressure loads. Here's two of my favorites.
Federal paper hull Win. 209 primer 1 oz magnum shot windjammer wad 18 gr clays powder 5800 psi, 1180 fps Rem gun club or STS hull Win 209 primer 1 oz magnum shot Rem TGT12 wad 16.3 Clays powder 6500 psi, 1125 fps

I agree Robert. Clays is extremely clean and soft shooting. 16.7gr. pushing a WWSL pink [1oz] wad, WW209, 7/8oz. in either a AA, STS or Gun club or Cheddite. Shoot it all day and you'll never shoot anything else.

I like 700X - used it in the 1970's for trap, and now for all my target shooting. A year or two ago I used PB - very clean but one of the most expensive powders. I now load just under 7/8oz [ in 12ga ] with Cheddite primers [ same as Win. ] - Claybuster wads, 0178 or 4100 - and from 15 to 17grs of 700X. That's good for 5600 to 7200psi - FPS goes up a bit. Most of the guys load 7/8oz in my club except for a few die hards who think you need 1 1/8oz . Paul
