A few months ago I bought some Winchester ammo. IT was 38 spl 130gr lead round nose with silver/chrome shells. I remember that the box was mostly white and had an orange stripe around it and maybe a black one too.

Can I relaod these? How do I know these are brass and not steel? Also I can't find this box or item anywhere on the whinchester website.

Thanks -

There probably just nickel plated brass,take your knife and scrape the top of the case if its yellow underneath its brass. I have never seen Winchester ammo loading in anything but either all brass or nickel plated brass. As far as I know CCI is the only American Mfg. that makes aluminum pistol case ammo. Wolf and some of the others from overseas use steel.

Check them with a magnet...No attraction=Brass. Attraction=Steel...As stated above. More then likely nickel plated brass...

"...Can I reload these?..." Yep. It's just nickel plated brass. Winchester doesn't make steel cases. They don't list a 130 grain lead bullet in .38 Special either.
