It would seem to me that being on the safe side I would use the 12gr load for starters that he recommends for the C**t handguns. 
Sometimes what is perceived as something by one is not what is perceived by another.
Flattened primers is subjective. Sticky extraction is too, as we discussed earlier. If there is any rounded part left to the primer, I don't consider them flattened. Others have another interpretation of them though. |
To me, sticky means that you have to give the rod a pop to get them out instead of a slight push like usual. There was still a decent bit of roundness left.. But they were beginning to flatten out which is usually a sign to stop or at least be careful. Although I've seen factory .38 +P loads that flatten out primers (cough. Speer. cough.) so mabye that doesn't mean a whole lot. Sure did make a satisfying "BOOOOM" though, sound more like a .44 than a .357
