Hi, All:
I wanted to start loading .38LC cartridges, to shoot in a conversion cylinder, in a Colt Navy .36 cal. repo. I have gathered up most of the componants, but the cast bullets that I got, have not been sized and lubed. They are 150 gr. FN Hollow base bullets. It just dawned on me that my sizing/ lubing press is back in Ohio, and I am in Florida. I thought the bullets were sized, and lubed, but they are nether. I am going to have to get sized bullets, or find a way to size the ones that I have. Does anyone know of a source of .38 cal. Hollow base bullets that are lubed and sized? The hollow base on the bullets that I have to use, presents a problem in the lube department. Should I use a Alox/beeswax liquid lube, or a regular hard lube? Should I fill the base of the hollow bullets with a filler? Has anyone loaded this .38LC combination? Any comments, or Info on this matter will be appriciated.
Thanks.
