For the above shooting, I reloaded 150 rounds of 38's (and 50 rounds of 357's [fired them the same day] using WSP's for all). None of the 357's squibbed (Bullseye powder). So far, I have "disassembled about 50 of the remaining 100 rounds of 38's, weighing and recorded the amount of powder found in each cartridge --- all have been correct so far. I initially suspected the Lee Powder Measure (cartridge type), it appears to be doing OK. Will have to look closely at the fired 38 cases ... they could have unburned powder and I just did not notice (did not keep the squibs separate, but I do put the fired brass back into the plastic loading boxes, so they are 'mouth up'). The powder (Red Dot) is a one pound cannister, less than one year old. I always clean primer pockets and just "look" thru the flash holes -- could be some of them had a chunk of tumbling media in them?

Will report further as I progress on examining them. Thanks for replies thus far.........skrazo
