A buddy of mine at work decided to start reloading for himself after using the ones that I rolled for him for about 20 years. I gave him a list of the best ones for his .38 special in his Blackhawk that were all tried and true. He came in to work a few weeks later and had a question. Seems that he mistakenly used a charge of Bullseye that was meant for Unique and thought that it would still be okay since they are both such small charges. Well, what he had was 10% above the top end of a +P Bullseye charge that he planned to fire in an old 1st series Colt Detective Special that he picked up. I told him "Don't even F**KING think about it!!!! Even if they were the right charge you shouldn't use +Ps in that Colt, anyway. Don't fire them in anything." They may have been okay in his Ruger Blackhawk .357 magnum, but why chance it. I told him that the best thing to do would be to pull the bullets, dump the powder and start over. taminator013noreply@blogger.com
