I've been using Hodgdon HS-6 for a while and I like it, though it doesn't meter that well in my Lee Pro 1000. So I decided to try Alliant Power Pistol but I have found that it creates such a large white muzzle flash. Is there any way to reduce this? My loads are as follows:
124 gr RN-ENC electroplated xtreme bullets
4.7, 5.0, and 5.3 gr Power Pistol
CCI SPP
1.150" COL (trying to remember off the top of my head if this is correct, I'll check in the morning)
Using very similar load data, I get a smaller orange muzzle flash when I get to my max load of 5.7 gr. Using a lighter charge of 5.3 leaves no flash but a bit of smoke.
