I'm wondering what I could change with my standard indoor PPC load to make it shoot cleaner in a 4" 686. I'm using Zero 148gr HBWC over 2.3gr of Winchester Super Target (yes, it's a bunny fart load) that works very well in my 6" PPC gun (clean, accurate, not very smokey), but leaves a lot of really hard to clean carbon rings in .357 chambers when I shoot them in my 4" 686 for service class.
I've tried all the standard cleaning approaches for the carbon rings and some work better than others, but if I can minimize the formation of the rings in the first place it'd be better. Different powder, different charge of WST? I don't mind changing my standard load if it works well for both guns, or using a different for the 686 if it's cleaner and still low power.
