Dusted off the lee loader (wackatool) loaded up the 38 special brass the kids blasted tin cans with over the holidays.

Scored at the LGS today.
2500 rounds of 148grn hbwc, the price was dirt cheap, I'm determined to get these things to work in my rifles.

I also picked up a new workbench off FB Market Place. I plan to put a couple pieces of 5/8ths on it for added rigidity.

Those are some great bullets. I loved those when I was shooting revolver competition. Too bad Star is long since out of business. Anyway I had a thread about 3-4 years ago where I experimented with those for my 357 mag Big Boy Steel. I loaded them about 0.25” out of the case. They fed and fired just great.

Paul, do you know what powder and load you used? I'm not giving up on having a decent wadcutter load.

What velocity are you getting out of that? IIRC i was getting like 670fps with sub 6 grains of tight group. It was like a 18 inch drop at 70 yds.

Ah, I looked it up in my logs, I was using jacketed bullets with that speed.
