Not at all. After 48 years of shooting/reloading, Bullseye is the dirtiest burning powder I've encountered. Two weeks ago, I shot 150 rds of .45 ACP w/200 grs LWC and 4.2/4.5 grs Bullseye. My fingers looked like I had been handling charcoal.

These were reloads I had made up before I could get Red Dot and the Bullseye was all I had. It was that or nothing.

I've grown to like Red Dot. Unlike Bullseye, it only requires a superficial cleaning to remove burnt powder from the chamber/bore and feed ramp/breechface. And the amount required is almost exactly the same as Bullseye.

Of course, your experiences may differ.
