I've got 1000's of empty .38 Spl brass cases laying around and though I reload .45 Colt, .45 ACP and .44 Mag I've never gotten around to reloading 38Spl (why bother it's cheap).
But now ammo prices are going up and .38 may just be getting to the price point where I decide to reload it too.
Which brings me to my question...
Can I use standard .38 Spl brass and reload it to +P levels? If not why not? If yes is there a generally accepted limit as to the number of times or should one just continue to examine the brass as is normally done to assure it is still usable.
Inquiring minds want to know...
As an aside I expect to use HP38 or AA#5 as the powder and 158 gr FMJ bullets. Any recommended loads?
