Was doing my thing punching holes in paper, the range officer stopped by my station and asked what I was shooting? I told him it's my 10 MM, why? Look at the smoke your filling the range with. Wow it looked like I was shooting black powder..
It's 7.4 grains of Power Pistol.
The guy next to me had a lazer, he was having all kind of fun with it..
Any one else felt they had a little to much smoke?
It was at the cop shop.
Lead bullets lubed with Lee Liquid Alox are quite smokey. Especially if the lube is heavy on the base.
Since I started working with Power Pistol all my shooting has been outside on days with a breeze, so I haven't noticed smoke as much.
He doesn't mention it, but usually the lube is what is what creates the smokey situation. Different lubes may help if that is the case! There is a guy down here that is selling some lube the are said to not smoke, I believe it is a polymer base mixed with acetone, tumble in a bucket, let dry, then repeat the second coat, then dried in an oven to finish.
I am not affiliated with them, they advertise & sponsor on another forum I am on.
Here is a video one of the users made...

You are correct! For the first time I was using lead. didn't 't even cross my mind that the lube on them would burn and smoke up the place..
Thanks
