Well, I got all my stuff set up yesterday. I started with 38 special. I wanted to start really light, so I loaded 3 gr trail boss with 125 gr swc. They were pretty cool popcorn loads, and I was able to shoot 2 inch groups at 30 ft with a Taurus 85. Later I reloaded some 38 short colt brass that I had with 2.4 gr Titegroup, and the same 125 gr swc. They actually felt a little more powerful than the specials I loaded, but still very light. As I get more comfortable I'll amp up the loads a little.

Lee doesn't make a trimming die for LC or SC, so I'm at a loss as to how to trim those to length. Since I didn't have any LC on hand, I wasn't able to load any of those.
