I just ran across one with a Federal 38 Special headstamp, nickel plated. First time I’ve ever seen one!

I've got several in my collection. When I started reloading in 1963, the local gun shop gave you your choice when buying .38 brass for reloading.
Hope this helps.

After a shooting spree, they always want to take the guns away from the people who didn't do it. - William S. Burroughs.
Bigslug to the best of my knowledge attempts were made to use lead free priming compound in LPP with poor results. There is/was a demand for lead free ammo. In short they could not make it work so they switched the .45acp cases to the SPP. PITA for certain. We don't get a lot of .45acp brass up here and when I run across SP primed .45acp cases they go straight to my recycle pail.

Its been months since I bought the book, "How to scam people online". It still has not arrived yet!

I guess that I came decades too late to the party, but these would've simplified my loading. The .38spcl and .357 are the only reasons that I even need small primers or their punches.
