On the nickel one shot cases have a few hundred of, because mine came in the form of the higher power .38 +P assumed that companies utilized nickel for high pressure applications. This is to say although my weekend shooting is brass wad cutters through 8 3/8th barrels was thinking it best on the hotter loads going to do for my little Body-Guard J-frame needed nickel as "proper" (for the lack of a better term) ?????

Sounds like a BIG waste of Time.(trimming) But then the headstamp will be incorrect. Why bother 38 special brass lasts a LONG time,



There is no difference in 38 special and 38+P brass. Only the head stamp, so the shooter knows that it is a +P load.


As to the original question NO do not load aluminum. Just because someone gets away with it once or twice it was not intended to be reloaded.
