I saw a deal on some Federal Champion 38 at Walmart and bit. It was 158 LRN and shot ok, not really very accurate out of a 642. I tumbled the brass and went to deprime with the Lee Universal decapper in the hand press and the brass would not fit the 38 spcl #1 shell holder. I used the 357 mag #2 and it worked, but I popped the decapping pin 3 times in 100 rounds.
I'm wondering if the Champion brass is worth having and if I need to make any other adjustments to my 38 loading other than using the 357 shell holder?
