I'm new to reloading.
I made up about 90 38 Specials using Accurate #2.
They fired fine but man were they smokey - and they blew gray soot out all over my off hand.
I use this power with 9mm without noticing any smoke or soot at all.
And the label on the power sayings it's good for 38 loads.
Is the fact that the shell contains so much empty volume the reason for the smokey/sooty burn?
Any suggestions for a different powder?
