I shoot a 686 revolver with a 6 inch barrel. We shoot targets from 25 yards to 10. I’ve been trying to build a light recoil/ muzzle flip round and have gone quiet low with powder. I tried 2.8 grns of Vectan BA 9.5, it’s very similar to Red Dot on the burn rate scale, with a 125 grn lead cast bullet made by MP Molds. There’s little recoil and little muzzle flip, that’s good, but there appears to be an audible difference when the gun goes off. Up then down, loud then not so loud, which makes me think that the powder drop is inconsistent. I load on a Lee Pro 1000 and test the powder drop regularly and it seems to be very consistent but the audible difference when shooting is disconcerting. Is it low powder throw or is this normal.
My present combination is a 158 cast bullet, 45 45 10 with 3.2 grains of BA 9.5.
Has anyone else experienced this?
