was very uneventful, but satisfying.
38 special loaded with:
158g LSWC
3.5 grains of Bullseye ( although I think it was closer to 3.3 grains. I think the Lee Pro auto disk is metering a little light with this powder.)
Seated to the crimp groove, but the exact measurement escapes me at the moment.
I loaded them up in my .357 Blackhawk (I knew they couldn't hurt that gun, even if I screwed something up) and shot them along with some WWB and they felt identical and were more accurate then I am. Then I tested them in my old 4" 38 special and again they performed exactly like the WWB that I was shooting. Only a whole lot smokier. I guess cleaning your gun a lot more is the trade off for those cheap lead bullets.
Next stop is 45ACP, then .357 (if 2400 ever becomes available locally again )
Using a Lee Classic turret and loving it loaded another 100 or so tonight with many more to come.
