I am so glad this "issue" has had thorough evaluation and discussion !

I have been selling off a dearly departed shooting buddy's stuff for a couple of years - then taking the $ to his widow.

He had many nice guns and a lot of nice "stuff" - including ~400 Rounds of what appears to be once-fired, W-W .38 Special "Brass Brass", with the characteristic "dual cannelures".

He also had a S&W Model 52 and a nice stock of Speer HBWC's loaded for it - all in dual cannelure brass. I assume the 400 rounds of W-W brass was "backup stock", that he just never got around to loading & shooting.

I might go ahead and pay for this brass, keep it, load it with my SAECO "382" SWC's (sized to 0.3575"), over 3.5 gr. of Bullseye and shoot it in his honor !

He knew the difference the dual cannelures made, so I hope he'll forgive me for loading SWC's in it !
