Clays is a very fast burning powder and you are on thin ice seeking higher velocity with it.
Published velocity for a given load means very little when it comes to shooting home-grown ammo in a mass produced gun. If your load listed for 817 fps is actually producing that velocity, I am a Chinaman. I do all load development over a chronograph and have seldom if ever seen a pistol load do what the book says it should.
Recoil and noise are not a reliable way of evaluating loads, wait to get on the Chrony before you make up your mind about anything.
A load that pulls bullets is doing something wrong. It may be an overload or there may be something wrong in your processing.
