I finished shooting up the "mixed" .38 Spl. ammo yesterday.

Got all the brass cleaned and am ready to start reloading it all!

Some of the loads were light enough that I could see the bullet going to the target even though it was only 15 yards! One went in a slow rainbow arc, hit the cardboard backstop and bounced off. I walked to the target and picked up the bullet.

I pulled 3 of the bullets and found one loaded with 3 gr. of a dark flake powder I am sure is Bullseye. The other 2 had a fine grey powder and only 2.4 grains weight of it. Not sure what it was.

Anyway ..here is approximately 700 rounds ready to start the loading process.

Need to shoot up some odd-ball stuff myself.

I have them all sized and deprimed.

Neck expanding is next. Then I will prime them all.
