The only problem I have with AA7 is the granules it leaves in a Luger's action. I have no such residue with CFE Pistol.

Hmmm....I have found AA7 to be exceptionally clean-burning. And your previous comment was correct ....I have been loading round-meplat FMJs. WW white box, even though round meplat, offered less reliable function. I measured these at 1.163"+ . I tried mag-tech 115 FMJ, which measured 1.155" and it offered much greater reliability. I have had best function with 1.155" to 1.160" COLs.
