I'm grasping at straws here, could it have anything to do with the color of the bullets? All the .38/.357's were either older lead, dark grey or copper jacketed. The .45's were bright shiny lead, almost silver in color.

I could test it by putting magic marker on the bullets but I wont be back at the range for a few weeks.
