Hi all,
In another thread way back, I had mentioned a estate purchase on a whole bunch of reloading and casting components. In with the components was about 500 complete 9 mm and .38 special loads. the 9 mm were marked with load data and the specials were not. Long story short i pulled apart the 9 mm (FMJ)and they were dead on to the load data. The .38's were wadcutters so I could not pull them. I know how most of you feel about shooting other peoples reloads, but I took the chance yesterday. I shot them out of a ruger security six .357 mag. They shot well, very mild loads but there was a puff of white\grey smoke upon firing. Any Ideas of what this could be ? There were no signs of leading at all. Thanks.
