Ok, I'm a complete newbie when it comes to tinkering with handgun ammunition. I routinely pull my bullets for my military surplus rifles in batches of five, equally distribute the powder, and reseat the bullets, to optimize accuracy. That is the extent of my reloading experience.
I have an Enfield No.2 Mk.1 (with the spur hammer), and I would like to work up a proper .38/200 load for this gun. My questions start here:
1. Can I pull the bullet from an existing .38 S&W cartridge, dump the powder, and use a new powder loading with a cast bullet in the existing case with the existing primer?
2. Where can I purchase a cast "boolit" ( I always wanted to say that), that will correctly fit the bill for my intended purpose?
3. (Not a question) If there is a better way to do this, and if someone has already done this, please direct me there.
Thank you all in advance for any help that you might be able to provide.
