Hello, i'm using DRG projectiles, reloading 9mm. They are a little bit too smokey for my liking. I'm not loading them very hot either. Can anyone recommend something cost friendly that doesn't have the red lube.

Thanks, Bill
 
Lite loads tend to be smokier than hot loads. Before I changed bullets I'd up the powder a bit and see if that helps. Just point 4 grains changed how my home cast 125 grain Lee liquid alox bullets shot. They went from smokey to quite clean burning.

Have you tried changing powders? Some are definitely smokier than others.
 
TiteGroup is well known to smoke a lot with lead bullets due to fast burning rate AND high burning temp that contribute to vaporizing lube.
