I'm usually a cautious loader. I load a lot of ammo and I like my eyes and hands to be unharmed.
I recently picked up an S&W Model 33-1 in 38 S&W. This week I loaded some 150 grain cast pills with 2.5 grains of W231, loaded to 1.015" COL. My Lyman book called for a max of 2.4 grains of W231.
Anyhow, I shot these this evening. You've heard of Gopher farts? Well these were even quieter than a gopher fart. Stupid soft shooting. No recoil. Very quiet.
What am I doing wrong here? I've been reloading for a couple of years and this just plain does not make sense.
