Will post some pics tonite.

Shot the P38 for the first time using my own reloads. Fired fine for 3 rounds then jammed up several in a row. I think I had 4 out of 10 jam or fail to eject. This was using the low end of the reload specs for the 9mm, 115 gr. projectile with Bullseye. I also found out that one of the springs was bad (on the firing pin) so this may have added to the problem. Have another one on order and will try again. The other factor was that the low end of the reload recipe may not be enough presssure for good slide cycling on this gun. But on the positive side, the gun does work and nothing blew up!
