While a lot of people use Bullseye, A5, w231, tite, for light target loads,

I like a powder that is a little larger and fills the case up a little more, like Red Dot or Green Dot that can work for a nice light target load in most cases.
Yes you will need a little more powder than the skimpy smaller fast burning grained powders but I like to be able to see the powder in the case, when I check my loading block before seating the bullets.

A smoked case will usually mean that there is not enough pressure for the case to expand and seat in the chamber.

I will try to add a little more powder to stop this from happening, since I like clean cases for loading if possible.
Not that smoked cases are bad............. just that being a Navy man, it just is not going to work out, for me.
