LVR - Dirty Powder?

[270quest]

So starting to load for my Howa 6 arc - I purchased 3# pounds of LVR and starting with 106 TAPs...

As I have done my internet research, it is said that LVR is a dirty powder. To what extent? I am going to be shooting this rifle suppressed and should I expect this to affect my rifle/suppessor in any way? I have never been a big believer of cleaning barrels religously, they either shoot or they dont. But with the suppressor thrown in the mix - I am concerned how a dirt powder may affect that? Am I over thinking this? In reality, I see myself shooting a couple hundred rounds during load developement and barrel break in, then at that point it becomes a hunting rifle thats getting shot far less than say a target or match rifle.

I wouldn’t worry about it. It’s dirtier than some, but not terrible. If it seems too gunked up, just give it a clean.

You're right.

It's more of an issue if loading for an AR, especially suppressed. Wouldn't worry about it at all for a bolt gun.
