I had a similar experience shooting a BP sub in .38 loads. The solution turned out to be adding a wad between the powder and the bullet. Surprisingly simple, but it had quite a positive effect. I do it in my .45 Colt loads now. I have since tried the more complex (not much more) "grease" cookie and that works well also - especially in the larger .45 Colt case.
