accurate 4350 question

Recently acquired a rifle in 25-06 that was supposed to have had 200 rounds fired in it. Had some accurate 4350 that I bought a couple of months ago that I'd never used. I don't use much 4350 powder and in the past it was Hodgdon 4350.

When I got the rifle, spent some time giving the bore a good cleaning. Went to the range with the rifle and after every four shots, cleaned the bore. Just put wetted several patches with a decent solvent for copper removal down the bore, stroked the bore with a nylon brush and then dry patched the bore before resuming shooting another four rounds. Kinda surprised by the amount of sooty material on my patches after each time I'd fired four rounds.

So, my question. Is Accurate's 4350 powder dirtier than H4350?
