A double charge of powder doesn't care if you're "just plinking". It will blow your gun to pieces just the same.

Not really Brian. S&W's were proof tested at much higher pressures than that. I doubt a double charge would blow my revolver to pieces even though it's over 90 yrs old. I could tell by shooting that the reloads were pretty low power anyway, so a double charge would be a double charge of a low load.
Still, you and some of the other fellas posting make a good point. I wasn't even thinking about the possibility of whoever loaded them double charging one of them. I was just thinking about all those seven cases needed was resizing and they would fit fine. The possibility of someone double charging didn't enter my mind. And as I said since they were low power loads to begin with and I don't think even a double charge of them would blow my revolver up,....still,....no sense in taking chances if I don't have to.
I've got an RCBS kinetic bullet puller and I guess it couldn't hurt to pull the bullets from the box of remaining cases I have and resize and reload them all.
Just a little trouble no biggie. So that's what I'll do. I've got a lot of saved up .38 special brass I need to reload anyway so this is a good excuse to get to it
