I appreciate the advice. I have a better game plan for my next step. In hind sight, W231 / HP-38 seems to be a constant theme from load manual to load manual. My original intention was to build as good or better ammo than I was getting, for less. It would appear I also have a new hobby.

One more question. I have also noticed that the different case brands produce slightly different results. It's seems that one has a slightly thicker wall than the other, which produces a tighter crimp with my current setup. Being that I am loading on the "lighter" side, I assume it's not a big deal, but if I were loading heavy loads what then? Should readjust my crimp or am I over think it?

Thanks again for the input.
