I thought light loads were great, until I had a bullet stuck in the barrel. THe load was 3.8 grains of W231. The cold weather also may have reduced the ability of the charge to get the bullet down the barrel. Anyways, there is a reason why you should not go below minimum charges...

This is not a set-up, this is the actual bullet stuck in the actual gun!
