I ordered a set of dies from Graf's and just to make it worth while had to "round out" my order with a couple hundred 380 short brass($4.99 a 100). Now if I can find something useful to do with them. I might have to find an old Webley one of these days (by that time I won't be able to find were the brass went).

Do you mean 38 short colt?These can be fired from pistols chambered in 38 special and 357 mag.Dont think I ever seen in 380 short.Still seems like a very good deal on the brass.EDIT I just went to grafs and seen the 380 short brass.I guess the reason I never seen it before is I was'nt looking for it nice score and happy hunting

You should be able to shoot them in a .38 Special/357 if you want. I shot some short cases I was given that were .38 Short Colt trimmed to .380 ACP length in my Security Six, and used .380 dies and load data. I don't bother with them much anymore since the long jump for the bullet is not the best for accuracy. I was told they were probably cut down for faster reloads. The Belgians chambered revolvers in it long ago as well. There were quite a few .380 revolver case lengths.

I have plenty of 38 special range brass around, so I'll save these in case I find an oddball revolver.
