Wow, thanks guys for the feedback. I'm very happy with my results. I tried the slower powders and they gave too much flash. I know I could push the 135gr Gold Dots faster, but why? In my steel frames, these are not brutal at all and open up awesome. I also like shooting the heavier 158's, I carry some 158gr Montana Gold JHP's in my pocket for backup ammo, you never know when a guy might have to shoot though a windshield.
I e-mailed Speer for advice on low flash powder, they suggested I try 3N37 and Power Pistol. I'm sorry to say I don't have any of that laying around to try yet, If I do more testing, I'll post it.
You guys have given me some more idea and things to try! Thanks!
