True blue is a slowish pistol powder according to the charts.

Can anyone explain to me why a slower powder stopped the problem?

Hi,

Though I've never tried True Blue, it appears to be a medium, slow/slow, slow powder on the powder burning rate chart I consulted.

Is your load accurate? If not, drop down several tenths and work up slowly until you see the groups tighten.

I'm glad your bullets seem to be responding positively to this powder.

You should probably forget about trying to figure out why this combination is working so well for you, as success with this combination has been a just reward for your efforts.
