Shooters World Clean Shot D032-03 Smokeless Gun Powder: Low-Fouling Pistol and Shotshell Performance

Shooters World Clean Shot D032-03 is a fine-grain spherical propellant with a fast burn rate, similar to Winchester 231, Hodgdon Titegroup, and Accurate No. 2. It’s formulated for low-residue, clean-burning performance across a wide range of pistol cartridges and 12 gauge shotshell target loads, giving reloaders predictable metering and reduced fouling between strings.

Clean-Burning, Meter-Friendly Design

Clean Shot D032-03’s fine spherical granules meter extremely consistently through volumetric chargers, supporting reliable charge weights on both progressive and single-stage presses. Its clean-burning formulation produces significantly less carbon and copper fouling than many comparable powders, helping maintain accuracy and cut down on cleaning time during high-volume range sessions and competition strings.

Application Versatility

Clean Shot D032-03 works across virtually all pistol cartridges, from low-pressure rounds like .45 Auto, .38 Special, and .45 Colt to high-pressure semi-auto calibers such as 9mm, .40 S&W, and .380 Auto, plus reduced loads in magnum and standard revolver cartridges. It’s also a strong choice for 12 gauge shotshell target loads. If you’re comparing options in the fast-burn pistol and shotshell class, Shooters World Heavy Pistol D037-02 and Shooters World Auto Pistol D036-03 are two more pistol-focused options worth considering.

Load Development

Always use published, manufacturer-tested load data when developing loads with Clean Shot D032-03. Start at the published minimum charge and work up in small increments, weigh every charge on a calibrated scale, and chronograph each string to track velocity consistency. Keep your primer brand, bullet lot, and brass lot constant during development, watch for pressure signs, and document charge weight, seating depth, primer, and chronograph results so successful loads can be reproduced.
