    148 gr HBWC- 38 SPECIAL

    Did some reloads tonight of 148 gr HBWC in 38 special over 2.2 gr of Trail Boss. How does my crimp look on these?

    OK the way it is, however I would apply a lighter crimp in order to prolong case life. A 38Spl does not need much crimp at all, just enough to prevent bullet jump. These have enough.
