So I load a fair amount of 38, shooting Bullseye, PPC, and other matches with 38s. Around about 15k per year. I've noticed the last couple days that occasionally I was damaging the top of HBWC. Nothing major, just cosmetic. So today I went ahead and took my seating die apart.
I'm not going to lie, it's been a long time since I took this die completely apart. Years. At least three or four. That's a LOT of 38 special the way I load. At least thirty, maybe 45k rounds(I took almost a year off with a stroke).
I just thought it would be good to remind some of you guys, especially those that load a lot, it never hurts to take those dies apart and clean them. The sizing die was bad too buy nothing like this.
