Finally got things together and felt I had read reloading books, watched videos and been advised enough to try a few test loads. I loaded .38 special lead RN 158 grain over Unique 4 grains. CCI primers. Figuring out the bullet seating die was a challenge. Only 9 rounds to see if I had it right. Lots of remeasuring and weighing. All nine fired first time and I even hit what I was aiming at. No signs of stress in the reloaded range brass. I did notice it seemed dirty.
One question -- a few grains of unburnt Unique fell out of the spent brass. Is that normal? I don't remember seeing that with commercial loads.
But bottom line -- Yahoo! That was cool.
