38 S&W Bullet Making

Thanks for your interest in the 38 S&W. Please refer to these notes.Why hand load for the 38 S&W? The cost of the ammunition is a starting point, but also the lack of components like bullets and cases. They are not usually on the market or to be found at reasonable prices. Sometimes bullet molds can be had, but that leaves the challenge of sizing which requires significant equipment, some of which is no longer available. Bullet swaging equipment is very high cost generally speaking, too much so for one seldom used caliber. NOTE: Do not use 38 S&W in any other firearm. It's not a modern 38 round. Avoid completely any factory loaded ammunition as it is way too hot for black powder era revolvers. The correct bullet diameter for 38 S&W is .361 making it unusable for any other caliber. 38 Special and the rest of the modern 38 family is .356 or .357 diameter depending upon the supplier. 38 S&W trim length is .77 while maximum length is .775, compared to 9mm Lugar with a trim length of .75 and max length of.754. Don't confuse the two. It's simply a comparison. At times in this video these numbers were informally referred to and are corrected here. 9mm Lugar trim dies will work well enough for case preparation if limiting washers are used. It's necessary to have the correct dies for 38 S&W though it may be possible to use 9mm Lugar. However, 9mm Lugar dies were not used for sizing cases or seating the sample bullets shown in the video. Furthermore, the expander die shown was deficient in the pilot's size. A work-around was done to get past that problem for the video. The pilot should be at least one-thousandth (.001") of an inch larger than the bullet to be seated. Special tools were developed for this video including a collar for the .361 neck bushing along with a special punch. Sizing works better when the bullet is forced all the way through the die after swaging. At least two passes are required for uniformity. Not much pressure will be needed. As demonstrated, only a few blows from a standard hammer were required. Heavy bullets are not recommended or those cast from other than pure lead. A platform was made to take the place of a shell holder as a matter of convenience during final trimming. The dimensions are not critical and the steel was not flame hardened. It did work harden somewhat, however. The tool is optional. Please follow all safety precautions regarding reloading and consult the commercially sold reloading manuals for charge data. Especially note that the 38 S&W caliber is not in use any longer and that numerous guns in that caliber were intended for black powder only. Smokeless powder should not be used therefore in the vast majority of those guns with a few exceptions. Know those exceptions. All lead bullets should be lubricated with the correct lube before seating. Be sure to wear eye protection in the shop at all times. As an additional safety note, many old guns run the risk of being way out of tolerance in the critical gaps between the cylinder. Thus, it is quite possible these revolvers are not serviceable. It's better not to shoot them at all if anything is amiss. Please do ample research on old guns before proceeding. Here's a very good reference. 38 S&W- Still Useful? | Tinker Talks Gunshttps://tinkertalksguns.com/2019/07/2...
