I just picked up 100 38 cal fmj bullets. They are 130 grain. I noticed when I got home that they are marked .38 Super. I don't know what the super means. Are these ok to load for my 357's or are they for something else?
If they are ok I'm looking for a load using Unique. I look for the other thread I had on this subject too.
might be mistaken, but believe the super is a .355/.356 dia. bullet so its sort of between the 9mm and 38 in size---splittin' hairs for sure....................i'd exhcange if possible
those bullets are for the colt 38 super. a hot fast round that is more popular on competition circuits. Also popular i believe in Mexico. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.38_Super
probably won't hurt to use them wisely, but there's no advantage to it.
BH, I would exchange them if possible. The .38 Super is a round that is used primarily in race guns in IPSC type competition. As Deputy said, they are designed to work as a high pressure round...primarily in semi-autos.
Personally, I would not load them for a revolver, unless that revolver is specifically chambered for .38 Super....don't think there are any.....(but then, I could be wrong).....
