only suggestion I'd offer, is to try not to put a 38 special load in a 357 magnum chamber ( for example ) "that" often talked about "carbon ring" that can build up just past the case mouth, can be even harder to clean up un the black powder cartridges...

I guess I quite often do Trailboss loads in many different cartridges, & those are fun... but they do lack the added enjoyment of the smokey black powder loads
