Recent threads on this site have emphasized that the smoke generated from shooting ammo with hard cast bullets is often more attributable to the lube than to the powder. Still, I was quite surprised by the extensive smoke generated from a new batch of reloads (my first use of Meister brand bullets).
The load was:
40 S&W with 175 grain Meister SWC over 5.0 grains of WW231
fired from a SW 610 (10mm revolver) with 4 inch barrel.
This load was much smokier than previous loadings with WW231.
Does Meister have a reputation for smokey lube? Which, if any, brands of hard cast bullets have relatively clean burning lube?
