Reloaded a mix of 50,52 & 55 gr projectiles using 2206h near max and found when cleaning the barrel was filthy? Anyone else had this problem, ive found 2208 followes closely by 2206 burns really clean but 2206h was shocking??? Any ideas?

G"Day Dave
Im no expert but maybe its because the 2206H is a slightly slower powder and hence leaves more residue in the barrel,2206H as I understand is mainly used for smaller calibres with a smaller powder weight enabling a cleaner burn,maybe if you had to use that powder what would happen if you went to a small rifle magnum primer, would it burn cleaner.
I dont know.???

Sorry Dave, I have been finding the opposite. My barrel is very clean after using 2206H.

I use 2206H in 204, 223, 22/250, 6*47, 270 and 308. I don't find it any dirtier than 2206 or 2208, and it gives best accuracy and velocity in most of them.

I used to have that problem when I used AP90 in my 44 Magnum revolver, unburnt powder everywhere. Shot accurately but I changed to 2400 and it stopped. I miss my 44.

I brought some 2206H because I had heard it gave better velocitys than Benchmark1 in .223 with projectiles around the 50gn mark.

Not for me it didn't, pressure signs occured well under the velocity the benchmark1 can acheive.

So as I gave up on it I guess I can't comment too much on its cleanleness, except to say that I have read in many places that 2208 is known for its exceptional clean burning. I use 2208 in my faster twist .223 to drive 75gn pills

Its a faster burn rate than 2208.

I used it in my 204. it cleans up very easily. Cant notice any difference between 2208 in the 6/250 or 2209 in the 300 wsm in terms of ease of cleaning the barrel.

I found in the 22-250 that at certain loads it was filthy beyond
belief, with slightly more pressure it was ok, and in the 6-250 its
clean as..

I think you might just want to explore a hotter or colder load, WITHIN
SAFE BOUNDS, that might resolve the issue, otherwise you might have
to either live with the filth (which i did in the 22-250) or switch powders.

I think Arch has a handle on the problem from his post. I have always found that light loads with any powder burn dirtier than max loads.

If you are using the loads from a manual as your max loads, it is likely that you are well under max for your rifle. I would work up a bit hotter and see what happens.

No problems with AR2206H in the 204.
