Starting to mid range loadsAre we talking about starting 357 charges or loads pushing the limits of 357?
I think any changes in neck tension due to the bullet sticking out further will mean the pressure is less using .38 Special cases. If .38 Special brass is thinner this also means the volume is larger and the pressure is lower.
If I were doing this I'd to stick to powders that do well in .38 Special and .357. Using powders that only work with higher pressure .357 loads might be inducing some of the issues mentioned.
Agreed but then again its knowledgeable experience at work. Like Keith and Skelton would use what they had..I just have one question. Say this works, if you don’t have any available.357 brass to load anyway, why the big hurry to work up a load? I’d suggest just back ordering brass from Starline since it’s available for back order. You might get it faster than you think.
its a lack of available .357 brass and an abundance of .38 spec brass.
