I use plated bullets in 9mm and 45, but this is my first with 38.

I don't have much crimp, but there is some. I'll loosen it up and try. I'll also try kicking up the load a bit because my first thought was not enough pressure. As far as the load, I was just trying things to see what worked the best. I made some 3.6 grain TiteGroup and this was the second batch with 231.

Thanks for the info.
