| 38 Super reloading question
Plan to start reloading for my .38 Super STI Trubor and would like to use 38 TJ brass. I'm assuming I can use the same shell plate and reloading dies (Dillon 650) as for the std 38 Super. Anyone have any pet loads that are about 170PF and under 1350 fps? Our club limits steel to a max of 1350. Any help would be appreciated.

Dies, yes; shellplate - I doubt it. .38 TJ and .38 SC are rimless, while the original .38 Super is semi-rimmed. I think you'll need a different shellplate (probably 9mm). to keep the brass securely positioned. The obvious solution is to call Dillon! |

I use the .40 caliber shell plate for both .40 & 9mm (I believe it's the same. Check Brian Enos site for specific info). However, I recently switched from #2 pins to the larger #3 when reloading 9mm.

I load both .40 and .38 Super on my 550 and use a separate caliber kit for each. | |

I have a question about reloading for the super 38 can someone help me?? I have been reloading for around 30 years with bench rest riffles and hunting rifles. My father gave me a 38 super he used in comp. back in the 1950 and early 60. I got brand new star line brass .355 hornady 124 xtp bullets with lyman dies and the bullets will go in the barell about half way and that's it. There's no apparent budge in the shell but the empty brass will go in the barell but when a bullet is put in it will not go into the barell. Any ideas?

Found the answer to my own question: about why my reloads won't go into my barell all the way.there is a good article in shooting times called the plunk test which took me back to the basics very refreshing and it solved my issue. Sorry to have bothered anyone on this forum.

Glad you figured out your problem. I'm guessing you didn't have your crimp die adjusted correctly.
