I loaded up 24 rounds with the load data as follows:

4.5 Grains/Winchester 231
Winchester Small Pistol Primers
Berry's 115 Grain Plated Round Nose Bullets
With an OAL of 1.135

Now they cycled and feed fine, but the accuracy was not there like I have with the Winchester White Box I used before shooting the reloads.

Also the gun did not eject the reloads with as much force as the factory ammo

And lastly the reloads felt weaker than factory ammo...

SO, do I need to up my powder charge? I dont want to blow anything up now by doing so...
