I would reccomend going up to about 4.2 to 4.5 grains of powder. It should help to seal the cases a bit better. I run my home cast 200 grain LSWC with 4.2 to 4.4 grains. They are a bit sooty, though they shoot well so I clean my gun a little more often. Takes me about 10 minutes at the range to clean my gun before I go home.
