I had an earlier post about reloading for the 45 colt. I have since switched powders to Red Dot which was all that was available. I put 5.5 gr in and was shooting 250 gr lead flat nose bullets. I took three out and test fired. Went off just fine but when I was done I saw there were a few flakes of unburnt powder that came out of the cylinder and the barrel was petty fouled. Not nearly as much as when I used the other powder, but I was just wondering if it was common to still have some unburnt powder left.
I have read a few comments about putting a tighter crimp on bullets, if this might be the answer how does one do it, I thought the crimp was part of the die and the bullet seater was the adjustable part.
Thanks for any info. Handgun reloading is new to me as you can tell
