A guy brought me some shells that he couldn't get in his wife's pistol. Turned out the shells he thought were .38 specials, were .38 S&W, which are about .005 larger in diameter.
Agreed, those are pretty bad.
I think you made a good choice. It seems every one in this thread agrees too. Let us know if anything is salvageable.Thanks all. I'll pull them and see what can be saved. Hopefully the cases and/or bullets will be usable. Otherwise, they're heading for the garbage.
Agree 100%...Upon seeing the lack of quality in the assembly of those cartridges, I would do as ArchAngelCD suggested and break them down for reuse and toss the powder (since you don't know what it is).

There's no way I'd ever just toss good brass.
