I recently acquired a substantial quantity of Western (Winchester) 38 Special ammo that appears to be in mint condition. The cases appear to be nickel, but I was hoping someone could comment.
Boxes read:
38 Special Mid-Range Match (OilProof)
148 Gr. Lead Clean Cutting
The boxes are yellow with red Western logo. Looking online I see that Winchester makes the equivalent, but in a brass case. Otherwise the two loads seems to be identical from what I can tell.
I've been reloading for my 270 Win for a couple of years and am just venturing into reloading territory for the 357 Mag / 38 Special. I've been using factory ammo for a while to accumulate some brass and get the feel of the handgun which is new territory.
Any comments / suggestions on what to do with these loads / cases would be greatly appreciated.
