I had several Stars & Astras in Largo and also the Destroyer carbine. They would
fire 38Super. The thickness of the rims on 38Super concerned me. I was afraid
extended use of 38Super cases would case extractor breakage. I turned the rims
to thin on Rem 38super cases to put my mind at ease. It's a PIA to do when you
always loose a few cases with the pistols. All the Largo ammo ( factory) that I
have bought was Berdan primed. I have also used these cases in several other
1st generation auto pistols with good results. It may have not been necessary
but it's better than breakage on 100yr old + pistols. The Star & Astra can handle
a few 38Super or 38acp but the older pistols should not be shot with either. When I load, its mild and with cast bullets.
