Throw some names and specs my way!!
I have 4 guns, and 4 calibres. I plan to reload two of them as they are the most expensive to buy and I am seriously considering those as my IPSC choice. Those two are .38 and .44.
At the moment, I have only found one place that stocks reloading equipment, and only a couple of shops that stock reloading parts. They only seem to stock stuff for rifles as hunters tend to be the biggest market for handloading... For example, I've only really seen Lapua, Sierra, Barnes and Nosler bullets and Lapua or Remington brass.
Finding the bits to make up my .38Spl and .44Mag/Spl is proving hard. No point buying any presses or dies if I can't find the bullets and brass!!
What I need from you:
1.
Can you give me the names of any big brands that should make these sizes, so I can ask around to see if they can order them in especially., Especially the brass.
2.
Can you give me any alternative names that .38Spl or .44 may go under.
For example, the Lapua stockist has bullets in for 9mm and .429. A quick google showed that .429 is the .44 calibre, and .38 is 9.07mm, not 9mm.
So, are 9mm bullets compatible with .38/.357, or are those missing .07mm going to make a 9mm from a .38 snub inaccurate?
If worst comes to worst, I can just buy a load of rounds and just keep the empty cartridges...
Thanks!!
