Yesterday I loaded up some .38s, 158 grain lead semi wadcutters over 3.3 grains of bullseye (max is listed as 3.6).
I'm very new to all of this, and I statrted by taking an empty piece of brass, putting a bullet on top, and slowly adjusting the seating screw until I had my desired overall length. I must have bumped something at some point, because my rounds started getting shorter.
Minimum overall length is listed as 1.420. What I have now are 6 .38 rounds that range anywhere from 1.396 to 1.415. I understand that seating the bullet too deep can cause pressure problems, so my question is: since this was a pretty light load to begin with, and since I'll be shooting them in a .357, are these safe to shoot? Or is it not orth risking?
