You sure that's your first time? They look great!
Now that you are HOOKED, try some of Smokes powder. It is way better than HF stuff.
I swear by it
I see you are still working with those tuna cans from Hell (48169). They are looking great. I am definitely going to be trying that soon.

What weight are those round nosed 38's?
Good Day my friend, yes I shoot waaaayy more TCH than any other, great for small game and just for stepping out by the barn and pinging away at my gong. Pound of lead goes a long way so does a pound of powder. The boolit you ask about is actually a 9mm 152 gr. that drops at .357 raw after powder coating it measures .364. It’s an experiment to see how it will shoot in the .38’s. BTW I finally managed to find a Ruger Redhawk .357, would like to have you shoot it. Power coating is a process and not a difficult one, I just had to try it. I use the lube 45-45-10 lube and for my shooting I think it is really great and if time is a factor quicker than powder coating. I’m set up to do it, if you want a particular boolit let me know and I’ll make some up and ship them out to you.
We went on to FB and looked at Caitlin’s page, what a beautiful girl she has become you must be very pleased. She is always in our prayers and that is a great picture of her and her young man. We must talk on the phone soon, I tell ya buddy you did me no favors when you moved to NV.
This is a picture of my .357 Redhawk.
