Can't figure these things out. I got a bunch of them and would like to use them, but I think it will be too much problem. Any help is appreciated.

BTW, these are for 38/357 if it helps.

Or send them to me after you melt them down and cast them into muffin sized balls to ease the shipping (they wont move around as much)

wheel weights ?

:banghead:Just melt them in your production pot and flux with something like tallow or crisko. The mix will smoke or flame when used, don't worry all it will do is set off your smoke alarms. I use wheel weights all the time for 45acp, 10mm, an 12ga slugs. Use em like lead only they'll be harder
Fail to see why this blog shouldn't be viewed a honest question.

No, no not in brass, thoes are for shot shells. Just shove 3 or 4 into your AA's with a Fed. 12S0 wadd. Crimp'em down real hard, oh yah leave the clips on for aerodynamics and start smashin thoes clays. Have fun and keep your cheek down.
 
Whats really funny is that someone took this as a serious post!

Get rid of the Lee stuff and buy a Dillon. Sit back, take your shoes off and enjoy the blue kool-aid.
Wow 36 minutes to make a dillon comment.......What kept you so long?

After careful analysis of your problem, I have determined that the 38 Special case shown in the picture has stretched somewhat due to excessive firings without trimming.

I always trim my straight wall handgun cases after 5,000 firings; looks like you have exceeded this magic number for your case.

Trimming is required.

Chop saw recommended.
