    38 Special cases - Sorted brass and nickel and headstamps

    38 Special Cases. These have been cleaned, decapped and then wet tumbled with stainless steel pins. The primer pockets are 95% clean since I use larger pins that do not get stuck in the cases. For the nickel cases, I have inspected them to the best of my ability and some were split (which were tossed, this was about 15 cases out of the approx 5000). If you reload the nickel cases, please inspect them closely. As you know, nickel cases are more prone to splitting. I sorted these by hand, so there may be an occasional incorrect headstamp.

    All amounts are by weight (each headstamp was counted for 100 and then extrapolated to get the counts with a 1% round down).


    1) Approx 1975 W-W brass headstamp $175 shipped ***SOLD***

    2) Approx 1975 W-W brass headstamp $175 shipped

    3) Approx 1850 Federal brass headstamp $165 shipped

    4) Approx 1760 Winchester brass headstamp $155 shipped

    5) Approx 1350 R-P brass headstamp $120 shipped

    NICKEL below

    6) Approx 900 R-P nickel headstamp
    Approx 235 “R-P +P” nickel headstamp
    Approx 115 “RP HV” nickel headstamp
    Total 1250 -> $125 shipped

    7) Approx 520 Federal nickel headstamp
    Approx 320 “Federal +P” nickel headstamp
    Total 840 ->$80 shipped ***SOLD***

    8) Approx 164 Western nickel headstamp
    Approx 80 Winchester nickel headstamp
    Approx 550 “W-W” nickel headstamp
    Total 794 -> $65 shipped

    9) Approx 840 Mixed nickel headstamp -> $60 shipped

    10) Approx 900 “Winchester +P” nickel headstamp
    Approx 150 “W-W Super” and “W-Super-W +P” headstamp
    Total 1050 -> $90 shipped

    Payment by check or MO (check works just as well, so don’t put yourself through standing in line at the PO). If you would like Paypal, that is also available. I ship quickly and provide a tracking number

    Are you referring to the external cannelure? It looks like the following all have the cannelure (W-W brass, R-P Nickel and W-W nickel). The remainder are a mix of ones with and without a cannelure.

    The second image, and part of the third have cannalures that indicate wadcutter ammunition in my experience. These would be desirable for my use in replicating the HBWC ammunition for my Colt Ofc’s Match and my Brother’s S&W Model 52 semi-auto pistol.
    PM sent, Kind Sir.
