This did not happen with the Winchester white box that shot very accurately. What is the cause of the large amount of soot? I am new to pistol reloading so I am here to be schooled.

I use 4.5 gr power pistol with good results, I would try using a factory crimp die to keep the pressure up and prevent the soot I use a lee prog press my cases come out clean
