Mr. Harrison,

IMHO...it's kind of a waste of money to buy new .38 Special or .45 ACP brass. I say this because:

1) generally it's fired at low pressures/low velocity and needs very little crimp...in other words it will last FOREVER!

2) once fired is just as good as new and it's available free lying on the floor of local many ranges. It's also available for a fraction of new price if you look around. (once fired .38 Special brass is not priced up there with other more "in demand" calibers...because it's VERY plentiful and not considered an "in-caliber" by many reloaders)


BTW, if I were to buy new brass for my .38 Specials...it would be Starline. It's what I buy when I do buy brass.

Bob
