I'm new to reloading, started with 38 special. I used Titegroup with LSWC and Remington primers. I was in testing these rounds in an indoor range, and I thought Smokey the Bear was going to smack me over the head with a shovel. VERY smokey and left the gun extremely dirty. Tried again with Bullseye, and had a little better luck, but not much. I am comparing these to Winchester Winclean factory rounds that produce no smoke.
Is it the lead bullet vs. a jacketed on that creats this mess? I have also shot factory Remingtons with lead round nose bullets and have not noticed them to be much worse than the Winchester. Any suggestions??
