Reloading for .38 SPL

[Tommy Gun]

I think I bought mine from Midway. Just Google undersized 357 die and go from there.

Try a decent quality bullet like a Hornady XTP. Your problem likely lies with the plated Berry's Bullets.

Separate your brass by headstamp.. With your bare eye you see which casemouth is thinner than the others after sizing .. Rem brass notorious for being too thin to hold a bullet.. Try loading a few of the thicker case mouth brass and see if you get better hold?HSM makes a plated 125gr bullet with a slight cannalure that helps with a slight-moderate crimp.. Sportsman?s usually stocks HSM ,, ymmv..

Good evening all...I thought I would update a little bit since you guys helped me out quite a bit.

As I started to reload a few extra rounds for .38, I took to heart the thought about Remington brass. I started measuring the inner diameter of the Rem cases and it seems they are averaging .357-.358. Other brands seem to be averaging between .352 and .355. The projos are pretty consistent at .3565 to .357.

I've only done a few for testing purposes but I'll let you know how it works out.

As far as the issue with the Chrono, I'm going to retry it tomorrow. There will be minimal sunlight, so the issues of backlighting shouldn't be a problem. Wish me luck
