Does anyone know where I can get bullets at to reload some of the USAC plastic 38 spl casings. I ran across some casings at the local range and was wanting to reload these for grins and giggles.

thank you

There is a guy on here that casts hot glue bullets. Those should work. Some of the old ones were made of hard wax. Sorry, don't know a source.

These USAC shells were made in the 80s and used special copper plated bullets. They were made to reload without a press.

I don't believe I've ever see one of those casings - any chance you could post a photo of one? Thanks!

I don't have a way to post pictures right now but will look into it. If you google USAC plastic 38spl some pictures will come up but with limited information. They made them in red, white, and blue. I have some of the white ones. They are built like a shotgun shell, metal head with a nylon or plastic wall. If anyone has any information on these I would appreciate it.
