I've got a bunch of 38 super you can have, once fired, but I would not recomend anything other light loads if I was you...  They were used to make major.  They might be good for a reload or two.   I was going to take them to the scrap yard next time I go.

Thanks for the offer, TAB, but I  have to say no....

If I took it, then I'd have to buy a new gun.....

But it did get me thinking....about a Brass Exchange...

But there would be lots of details to work out...

38 super brass not being able to take the pressure is the main reason why they went to 40 cal+ to make major.


I've had them for awhile, started sorting thru them a few years back and about 2/3 were toast.

Mind you this doesn't include ANY brass, polishing supplies, box's, or a half dozen other smaller expenses I'd incure to add another caliber to my exisiting equipment.  But this hit near $300 bucks.  :(


I bought a BUNCH of Fiocchi 90 gr. JHP's at $16.something for 50 round box's instead.  ;)

 ;D

They hardly cost any more, and I'm hooked on'em!  I did a BUNCH of comparisons when I started reloading (you name the brand) and the Federal Premium out performed everything else many times over for consistency of ignition and how well they ignited (size of flash).  They made me a believer!  All I use.
