tkglazie - I also remove 38/357 cases from the shellholder and visually inspect each load. I was wondering how hard it would be to see a .5gr difference of bullseye in a 38 case so I loaded one tonight with 3.0gr and one with 2.5gr and it's almost impossible to tell the difference at just a glance in the case. I think my problem stemmed from the fact that Berry's hbwc have to be driven at least 800fps and I may have been right on the line for that speed. I didn't have a chrono to measure. If there was a light chage I don't think that I would have noticed that little difference but it may have been enough to drop the speed low enough to stick the bullet.
Anyway now I have a chrono and if/when I can get the rest of the bullet fragment out I will test the speed of a 3.0gr charge. I guess my next step is to get a 5/16 brass rod and try that. I already let it soak for 24 hours with kg-12 but that didn't remove it.
