Has anyone devoloped any information on the optimum powder to be used in reloads to be used in a gas-operated semi-automatic shotgun? It seems tome that some powders may genrate extra or resdiue which would impair the opertion of a gas operated gun. any ideas?

Yes, I know this is not a sxs inquiry.

Paul, this may not be any help, but I see you haven't received any other replies. I reload only for break open guns and of all the powders I have used, I find clays and green dot to be the cleanest. I'm sure someone more knowledgeable will be along shortly. Good luck.

With the price of fuel oil you should consider trading in that gas operated gun on a nice SxS.

The gauge will make a difference in powder selection. In 12 ga. I like Nitro 100. It also makes nice low pressure loads for my older guns. Cost is low and # of grains required is low, also. Look up Accurate Arms for loads.

P.S. Buy a well-known powder that is inexpensive, uses fewer grains to produce the desired velocity(for less recoil) that will give you the pressures you want and don't sweat the "clean burning" aspect of it. You're surely going to clean a gas auto sometime, anyway.
Every powder ever made "burns cleaner, shoots farther, patterns better, produces shorter shot strings and less recoil than all the rest". It also cures the heartbreak of psoriasis. They can't all be telling the truth, can they?

Both are kitchen clean.
