I use the VV 340 for my .45 ACP loads. When loaded light (170 PF) I find it is actually dirtier than W231. When loaded hotter it is much cleaner. Don't know about how VV 320 reacts to light loads. When I use up the VV 340 I'll probably go back to W231. Just can't justify the costs.
Switch From W231 to VV320?

Is Vihta Vuori REALLY that much cleaner? I am satisfied with Winchester 231, using it for .38 special and .45 ACP. Maybe after a hundred rounds of .45 during a major match with another 100 rounds to fire I might wipe the frame's feed ramp with a paper towel. My pistols are always cleaned after every use. I use 230gr FMJ hardball, Montana Gold to be specific.
Are there folks out there who have used both? I load using a Dillon 550B, with the W231 metering well. Price wise, 6 lbs. of VV320 will get me 8 lbs. of W231.
I would appreciate any feedback. It it really better? Is it better, but not worth the price? VV320 is faster burning, but the difference is very slight.
Thanks In Advance,
Chico

WW-231 burns dirty? (Oh yea, I'm used to 2400).
WW-231 works great for me. No experiance with the other, but I sure as heck wouldn't buy 6 lbs of it before trying 1 lb to see if I liked it!
