The only thing I know for SURE is that some of it is vaporized.
I have loaded the exact same load with a jacketed and a cast bullet and the cast/lubed bullet produced at least 3 times as much smoke.
This was to test the supposed "smokiness" of Unique powder and they were shot in the same gun.
The jacketed load produced very little smoke.
If I recall they were 240 grain bullets, 7 grains Unique in a 44 special.
Lube was more than likely a hard one as the cast bullets were commercial, either Oregon Trail or Beartooth.
