I have been using 10X with sierra 39 gr. bullets I get a terrible crud (carbon) ring just in front of the chamber.Its a bear to remove.what powder could I try that might not be so bad for this ?

I've had good luck using 8208XBR with 39 gr SBKs.

+1 on what Tokimini said!

Also, I just bought some CFE223 and hope to have good results with it for my .204's, along with the .17 Remington.

I thought that wasn't going to be out until February. Please keep us posted on your results. I'm very interested in seeing what this powder's performance is.

I'm very happy with Benchmark in my .223 and .204. Cleans up very easily so far?

+1 for benchmark although in .223 I have been very happy with h335

Benchmark2(ADI) = Hodgdon Benchmark

I'm an amateur shooter, never tried other powders either, but I've had a few 5 shot groups under .75moa (factory rifle) without messing with seating depth. Didn't standardize any cases either (trim, primer pocket/flash hole uniform) but have now - no tests yet.

Don't clean my barrel too often and comes up shiny when I do

Benchmark is my choice also.....very tight groups and seems very easy to clean

Wild Willie,

What is your charge of R-10X with the 39's?, mine is 25.4 and it burns clean for the bolts and AR-15 also.

I have shot lots of 32's and 39's without any buildup. My bottles are all dated 01-2010 or newer.. They did have

"Gunk" issues with early batches and recalled some. The thing I like about Alliant/Reloader powder is the Date on the bottle with lot#'s.

My load is 25.1 with the 39gr My powder is Nov. 08.Your post is the first I heard anything about a recall

Of course the old link is now broken. The powder was not dangerous just left a "gunk" in the barrel. from 2007.
