The smoke could have been the bullet lube burning off. Also I have found any ammo that I loaded with Titegroup seemed to be smoky.

I've heard good things about it but have never used Titegroup .... I wondered if it might be powder burning outside the barrel .. :?:

I wanted to run a few 38 wadcutter hand loads through it .... the good news is, all 6 fired instantly with sold primer strikes .... I was very surprised to see a lead buildup on the rifling after so few shots
I just finished giving our Roughneck thorough cleaning after firing the 30 rounds (15 through each barrel) a few days ago .... with leading mentioned above after only 6 shots, I anticipated finding more lead buildup .... I'm delighted to say, there wasn't any ... none at all .... with both the first 6 and the last 30 all coming out of the same box, having the same powder, and the same wadcutter cast bullets, I have no clue as to why .. :?: .. the first Ballistol soaked patch run through each 6" barrel came out black and I do mean black .... a couple more were all that we needed to leave the inside of the barrels as shiny as new ... looking forward to taking it back out again soon

It's been quite a while since I've been on the forum and it's funny that without knowing that this conversation was even going on I went and scratched an itch that I have had for a long time and bought a Bond Arms Patriot (.45/410) I haven't had a chance to shoot it yet but I'm looking forward to it for sure! It came with a leather driving holster too. Hope everyone is having a great summer!!!
