well i have some 38LC brass and some 38 special brass .
i been trying to reload my 38LC
my dies are 38 special . so my exspander die wasnt exspanding the casing mouth like it should have been . as such it was compressing lead into the die and jamming it up .
but when i put 38 special casing in , it works fine .

this weekend i also picked up a old steel ,dixie heeled bullet mould that casts a 125 grain . which so happens is . 357 at the base ..367 at the first lub ring , then grows to .372 .
being im using soft lead , i rana lubed bullet through my .358 sizing die and WAAA LAAAA no more problems .

now im to figure out a way to hollow base the mould . after using a counter sink on the base , i still am getting a 110 grain bullet

but that was all after spending the morning shooting .60 rb from my 38 special casings . my group went from 12 inchs at 25 yards down to 6 inchs at 25 yards .
what a kick in the but .
