I use 158 gr. lead semi-wadcutter bullets and 231 powder and a crimp die.
I used to always use 4.3 grs. of 231 and a bullet with a red lube. Haven't used them in awhile so I don't recall how much smoke I saw when firing them. I know they didn't smoke as much as what I'm using now.
Bullets I'm using now have a black lube. I load them in front of 4.0 grs. of 231 (my wife likes this charge because it recoils a little less). Gosh do they smoke when you fire them! Is the reason the black lube or powder charge or 231?
