I've finally gotten started on a project to process and load all this vintage .38 wadcutter brass I bought awhile back. Working on the Remington first then we'll do the Western. All is fired factory wadcutter brass from quite a few years ago. While I'm at it, I'm covering all the original boxes in clear packaging tape because I'm weird and like using the original paper boxes better than them new-fangled plastic ones, but the tape job makes em hold up pretty good. These are Magnus 148 grain hollow base wadcutter, load is CCI-500 and 3.1 grs 700X. I've heard complaints about 700X not metering well, but my old Lyman 55 throws it fine, right on the money every time. Good for me cuz I've got about 5# of it, a lot of shooting at 3.1 grs per.
How old do you reckon these boxes to be? The Western look like 60s to me, later than that they would have been Winchester-Western. The Remington look older to me, but not sure how much.
