You want to see clean and a near complete burn. Swab my NULA or Savage after shooting N110. Its like night and day vs any powder ive shot.
You're taking the "complete burn" a little to literally, but of course you already know that.
And of course we're not talking about a smokeless muzzleloaders either, all of which do not have a "complete burn", nor does any CF rifle. The propellant is burned and the propellant leaves a residue, in an Ultimate or your NULA and Savage. Some propellants leave more residue than others. Even gasoline completely burns, yet leaves residue. No different than a piece of wood in a fire, it will completely burn, yet leave residue.
From Western Powders:
"Out of an inch longer Knight .50 Long Range Hunter model, velocity moved up to just 1,971 f.p.s. (2,238 f.p.e.). However, loading this same load in the 30-inch barreled Traditions .50 VORTEK Ultra Light LDR, the added three inches of bore allowed a more complete burn of the powder charge – and velocity jumped to 2,018 f.p.s. (2,350 f.p.e.)."
