[QUOTE="Blitzfike, post: 799785, member: 807"] DLBLEAK and I just did a brass swap, he ended up with some of the 32 colt and 38 sw brass. I sent him some cast bullets from my odball collection as well. One of them is a hollow base measuring a little over 38 caliber, not .357 but an actual .38?? It looked like either a muzzle loader bullet, or a bullet designed for 38-40 or something like that. Some of the old black powder bullets were bigger outside the case than they were on the part seated in the case. I have loaded black powder in virtually all calibers just playing, but with 45 colt and .44 spl, I got really good results. Pyrodex in the CTG formulation is made for duplicating black powder loads in cartridges. You don't get that wonderful aroma from the black powder mixed with your sweat, but they function pretty well with less fouling. Good luck with your experiments.
