Picked these up at the Tulsa show. Had heard about them, but never seen a box.
Rare and valuable stuff. .38 Special wadcutter with a .38 Super semi-rim, for converted/rechambered Colt .38 Super National Match pistols, 1950s-60s.
A clean, undamaged box of that ammo to a collector is worth about $200. Empty, once-fired brass about $1 each for those who have the pistol and still want to shoot it.
The ENEMY is listening.
HE wants to know what YOU know.
Keep it to yourself.
It shoots all right in most .38/.357 Mags as well. I've shot loads in my Colt Python as well as a Colt Midrange Match I once owned.
Loads just like a .38 Special with, as I recall, a #9 RCBS shell holder.
Just for the tally book, they are useable in the Winchester .351 Self Loading for light loads but are very short. Too bad Starline don't produce that round.
The .38 AMU was a good round back in the old days when the MTU boys were rechambering .38 Supers to .38 Special for the midrange stage in Bullseye competition. Them was the good old days./beagle
