Here's the issue; I have unburned powder granules in my Redhawk cylinder. It's been suggested to go a little hotter powder. But how much is enough? Or not enough?
Before you go experimenting with unknown powder charges, who and why are you making this determination that you need to go to a "hotter" powder?
Maybe you are using a too cool primer. Maybe you are not seating your projectiles with enough crimp to guarantee a secure enough pull to ensure a complete powder burn.
Make sure that you are both using a documented load and powder levels to ensure a safe load in your weapon.
Are you building these loads for target or hunting?
Are you shooting lead or jacketed projectiles?
