I use 4.5 of hodgdon clays with a 200 grain jacketed semi wadd cutters. I get no smoke and very good accuracy. I have also brought it as low as 4.0 with a 200 grain head.

Bound's hubby here:
I reload for target only in the .45 ACP. For my target loads I prefer to use WW231. It is accurate like Bullseye, but burns cleaner. If I can not get WW231 my alternate choices, in order, would be: Bullseye, Red Dot, Unique.
For defensive ammo I will purchase it because using reloads in a defensive situation can be a legal nightmare.
Good luck.

I also suggest WW231 or Bullseye.
Unique or Red Dot would also be fine choices for in-expensive do-all powder.

I recall reading somewhere that Bullseye is the most commonly used powder in Target loads. If this is your intent, try it. Please, however be careful with Bullseye, it is a very fast burning powder.

bullseye, i guess. cleaner, fast burning, very accurate when paired with H&G200grs. semiwads. Unique' powders are ok except that it is slower burning, which leaves a lot of residue.

If your asking this question on this website, I can only hope your not standing in the lane next to me the next time I'm at the range when you test whatever your loading, you need to consult with some manuals and manufacturers load suggestions

5 grains of "Bullseye" has worked well for me the past 20 or so years using 185gr-200gr SWC.
