Reloading is Hard<\/i><\/p>\n
Reloading has me more confused than ever.<\/p>\n
A commenter said I shouldn’t use lead bullets at .38 Super and .357 speeds because of leading problems. But Oregon Trail guarantees no leading from their Laser-Cast bullets. Unfortunately, they provide no load data whatsoever. They refer customers to websites full of highly questionable data provided by random individuals.<\/p>\n
On the one hand, everyone screams not to use data that isn’t published. On the other, Oregon Trail sends people to reference sites compiled by God knows who.<\/p>\n
Also, their 9mm bullets are .356″ in diameter, which is supposed to be right for a .38 Super. Hornady recommends its own 9mm bullets for .38 Super reloading. But Oregon Trail has bullets labeled “.38 Super” which are not the same as their 9mm jobs.<\/p>\n
So I guess I’m going to have to call them and look stupid. I’ll have to ask if I can use their 124-grain 9mm bullets for .38 Super reloads. And then I have to find reload data I can trust.<\/p>\n
Good Lord. I’m not trying to prove Fermat’s last theorem. I just want to make .38 Super ammunition that will move at around 1250 fps. And it’s impossible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
