Hmm...I don't know.
I run HS6 in everything from 357, 44 mag, 40 S & W, & 45 ACP.
Anybody???
Anybody load .45 ACP?
I'm looking for a clean burning powder that produces a low muzzle flash with 230 gr bullets.
Will be shooting from a Colt 1911 and a Glock 30.

I run Blue Dot in my 45ACP and my 44 Mag. I have fired both in the dark, in the 44 mag I get alot of flash, in my 45ACP I get very little. My 45 has a 5" barrel. I tried my load in my buddies 45 with a 3.5" barrel and got some flash, not a lot but some. Thought I would share that for what its worth. I will say that Blue Dot burns very clean in both calibers.

Thanks guys. Appreciate the info.
Maybe some more guys will chime in with their experience in the next couple of days.

+1 on the Blue Dot in my Sig 220.

231 and Unique work for my needs - don't know if they are "low flash" or not but I find the 45 to be generally low flash to begin with (compared to other defense rounds).
If you are using jacketed bullets I'd recommend Hodgdon Clays or Titegroup. I don't like Titegroup with lead bullets - too much smoke! Hodgdon Clays works with both and is very clean burning too.
I use clays with my .38 Special Cowboy loads as well as my 12-Gauge.Originally Posted by pbcaster45
I noticed when using very low charges of Clays (3.5 gr) behind 105 gr TC lead bullet I get quite a bit of "flash" out of my cowboy guns and out of a S&W J-frame.
