I tested out some 190gr cast bullets for my M1 Garand yesterday and they shot pretty well with 36gr of IMR-4350 but the smoke was pretty bad. It was actually almost musket level where I could no longer see the target clearly. I am using powder coat and the bullets are gas checked so I can't understand why they smoke so much also no issues with cycling. Another interesting thing is there seems to be what looks like unburnt powder in the action/chamber.
