Anyone handload .38 S&W? I picked up a handfull of this brass (36 pieces) at the range and I hate to just toss it.

If someone can use it, PM me your address and I'll mail it to you.

I use the 38 special brass with wadcutters in both my 357 magnums and they work as well as the longer cases. After 200 rounds or so there seems to be a bit more lead and powder buildup in the cylinder but not enough to affect velocity or accuracy. I'd say hold on to them and either use them or trade them to someone locally.
 
I think the best solution is for you to buy an old S&W lend lease gun in 38 S&W and start loading it yourself. There are also some decent S&W top breaks, and quite a few old Enfields for under $300.
