9mm Beretta shooting 124 gn cast lead bullets with 4.1 or 4.2 gn of W231 and tula primers.
At an indoor range yesterday and this combo would fill the range with smoke. Is one component most responsible for this and is there a way to prevent it? I've shot coated bullets with similar results. Have a box of 500 copper plated xtreme bullets that I plan to load soon. Will this change create less smoke (with same powder and primers)? Never shot indoors when I loaded with less powder (minimum was 3.9 gn I believe) but I don't remember the volume of smoke with smaller powder charge. Gun was probably a little dirty yesterday, but had a lot of smoke last time I shot and the gun was clean. Suggestions?
Thanks
