    I was able to get my hands on two boxes of new production Smith and Wesson Performance Wheel Gun ammo for 38 S&W. Specs list as 146gr LRN at 685 fps (4” barrel.)
    Is this ammo safe for use in my 38...

    Were your RCBS dyes the cowboy variety? Those are plain steel correct? No carbide sizing ring? I can understand how they were able to open it up if that’s the case. Do you use sizing lube on your...

    I ordered a set of Lee dies. I’m hoping the 38 auto sizer die will size cases to the necessary larger size than the Hornady die. Has anyone had issues seating larger .360”-.361” bullets using the...

    I understand what you’re saying. Yes, I am seating the wad cutters out long. I understand the hollow base gives more volume and therefore less pressure.
  12. I have a large amount of unique. What would be...

    I have a large amount of unique. What would be comparable load to the 2 gr Bullseye?
    I’m seeing in a post, a max of 2.8 gr Unique in a top break.

    Does the 9mm Makarov Lee FCD work well on the 38 S&W case?
    Will the Makaro sizer die and seater die do the correct job on the 38 S&W?

    I was looking at ordering the Lee set but if they size...

    So are you saying that Outpost75’s suggestion to use 2-2.3gr Bullseye with WC seated king isn’t a good idea for my top-break?
  15. Does you CH die size for the correct size bullet?...

    Does you CH die size for the correct size bullet? .360-.361”?
  16. I talked to hornady. First, about the missing...

    I talked to hornady. First, about the missing titanium sizing ring, they said they couldn’t use it because the case has too much of a taper. Second, they say yhe .357 sizing size is strictly geared...

    Well this is disappointing. I pulled out my brand new Hornady 38 S&W loading dies and discovered the sizing die is missing the no lube titanium sizing ring. They are advertised to include the...

    So far with 154 gr lead SWC over 1.8gr red dot I’m getting around 550 fps. This a sampling of just 5 rounds though.
    1.6 gr red dot under a 148gr solid based wad cutter was doing just under 500 fps....

    That is very interesting information. Thanks.
    Would a SWC cause a similar wounding effect? Or less?
    Now that I think about it, I think the flat surface of the WC would cause more hydrostatic...

    Would you say the 38 DA is more or less powerful than the 380 auto? You have a heavier bullet going slower than the standard 90 gr bullet at 800-900 in 380
