What do you guys suggest I try? I don't have any other bullets to try or a different pistol powder.


I'd suggest shooting it more and getting acclimated to it with a powder that isnt so noxious.

Bullets for 41s often all shoot well, because there's little variance between common bullets and the throat/barrel diameters.

If you've shot very few magnum handgun rounds, or shoot one every so often, it's pretty hard to get good with one or develop bad habits when you do shoot it.
