reloading 38 WCF cases ...

[jjrothWA]

Found some loads for an old Colt New Service.

180gr lead using Red Dot powder 4.5 to 5.2 gr, will drop by 0.10% for starters.

and for 180 gr XTP , using IMR-4227, 14.4 to 17.5 [reduce by 0.20%]


What say ye brothers [and Sisters]?

If the case is anything like it?s big brother, the 44 wcf, be prepared for buckling the case wall.

The brass has extremely thin walls, and will buckle if you look cross-eyed at it!

Flare the case mouths . . . .A LOT . . . .to ensure seating the bullet without damage.
