My female friend mentioned to one of her friends husands that I reloaded ammo and was asked if I would reload .38 short or long colt shells , this person is willing to pay for the dies and supplies as he cannot find preloaded ammo in this caliber . I found starline brass in the sizes I need now I need to find reloading info on these 2 cartridges , I looked in all my books (lee,lyman ,speer, cartridge Id book ) and haven't found any listings . does someone have any recipes to use ? or a source for these recipes ? I understand to release you of all liabilitys, these are NOT .38 special loads, but colt loads . thanks in advance
