Staball match being dirty and causing issues?

[jzerfoss]

I've found more than a few threads talking about Staball Match being dirty and possibly causing chambering issues, pressure issues, and carbon rings pretty quickly. Has anyone ran it for more than 200-300 rounds between cleanings and had no issues?

I use it for multiple calibers and it is dirty but it’s not bad. It actually runs pretty clean in my 22 nosler AR and gives outstanding speed and low sd/es. I havent Noticed it causing carbon ring or other issues any faster than other ball powders.

Are you cleaning frequently?

I clean the bcg after every shooting session because I shoot suppressed but the barrel gets cleaned every couple hundred rounds.

You should clean more frequently than that. Some powders carbon foul more than others.

I clean when I need too. I dont have any accuracy issues cleaning as often as I do

I thought it was cleaner than TAC, but that's a low bar.
