Must know what they are...bullet type, weight, propellant type, fps, caliber, revolver or semi-auto and pistol type.
There are optimum amounts of propellant for various speeds. For example, if they're using an insufficient amount of a slower burining propellant in order to reduce the muzzle velocity, you'll have a lot of smoke and crud generated. Years ago, we loaded some sub 900fps .357s using, I think, Blue Dot. Jeez! It was like shooting blackpowder...smoke everywhere!
Also, it is combustion byproducts or lead? My flattop leads the bore so bad that after shooting 100 or so rounds of hard cast, I swear you can run the Lewis through it and pull out enough lead to make 2-3 more bullets. I generally shoot JHPs because really I hate deleading that pistol.
