I'm pretty new to reloading and am using Titegroup for the first time for 38 Special. I've previously been using WST as my powder and that's all I have to compare the Titegroup to for my experience. I'm using a 130gr bullet and Federal 100 primers. I made three small batches of 3.1gr, 3.2gr, and 3.3gr of Titegroup, about 15 rounds each, and all were accurate and pretty low recoil. What I noticed that was the amount of smoke it produced got increasingly worse going from the 3.1 to the 3.3gr. It wasn't leaving unburned powder, but the indoor range I was in got really smoky by the time I finished my tests! Is this typical of Titegroup as a powder? Also, how much lower of a powder load can you go before having problems within unburned powder or accuracy issues?

What's the consensus on compression with Goex FFg? I've heard anywhere from .25" to .38". I have .030 fiber wads, and a custom mold for 255gr and 337gr big lube bullets. 1:20 tin/lead alloy.rifle is cimarron high wall, 30" barrel 1:18" twist. I can ring steel pretty good at 300 but couldn't find out where my POI was at 100yds. I'm at the point now where I'm ready to do a new batch of rounds and am curious if I should standardize any of the loading process before adjusting charge weight. Spg pan lubing and brass is starline 2.08" federal LRP 210.
