It is a Llama, no model number on it. It is stamped 38 Special and is around 50 years old. I think that explains the problem. Some of the bullets would only drop in half way and some 3/4rs of the way. This friend is the one I go to the range with every week. I was shooting my new Marlin Model 60 at the rifle range while he was at the pistol range about 100 yards away so I didn't observe him loading and shooting the pistol.

Yes, I did a full resize on the cases. The bullets were all resized to .358, after powder coating. Each was moderately crimped with the Lee factory crimp as a separate pass after the bullet seating.
