    Started loading- Still can't find most of my .38 S&W brass!




    A puzzlement:

    The nickel plated Winchester cases have good bullet retention, almost too thick towards the base, but the Remington cases only retain the bullet by the crimp. In fact, the bullets can be rotated without undue force. (No "wiggle", though.)

    Obviously the Rem. cases are thinner, but does it really matter? If the bullets don't pull out of the cases under recoil, what would be the downside?

    BTW: The Lyman Manual "starting load" and "max load" are only 0.2 gr apart! Jeepers!
