Powders for the 45 acp

[Seawolf1090]

I began my .45ACP handloading with Red Dot, and it does well. Had bad experience with Unique - burned dirty and gunked the Colt M1991A1 up to the point of failure in only a few magazines. Read elsewhere that Unique is best done for hotter loads to make it burn more completely(?).
Now, I have settled on Bullseye for most of my handgun loading - the main exception being .357 Magnum (I prefer Lil Gun).
AA#7 is also very good in the .45ACP for cast loads.
