I spent the weekend loading 38 Specials, using brass I got from an old timer. The brass was all outdoor range pickup, and quite a bit of it was current.
However, I bumped into about six odd 38 Special pieces of brass.
They all had the same Peters head stamp. They were all nickle plated. They all had two external cannelure stripes around the outside.
The head stamps all say, " Peters 38 S&W Spl"
And, the primer pockets are all for LARGE PRIMERS!
I have never seen anything like these before. Large pistol primers on a 38 Special?
Does anyone have any clue as to when these were made, and why?
