    Unexpected results 38 spl.

    Hi folks. Last summer I bought 500 Acme 148 gr. BNWC-NLG wad cutters. Thought I'd load some for my little S&W snubbie. It's my first high tech coated bullet.

    N330 Load data

    Talk to me about Herco metering

    First, a little background. I used to reload back in the day, and fairly recently the interest was rekindled. This was during 13.. and no reloading supplies were available in Indiana. I haunted the gun shows, and finally found a pound of Herco. I reloaded some .357s, and it worked ok with my...
