When I load rifle rounds, I sort by headstamp. When I load hot handgun rounds (.44 Mag, 10mm and .357 Sig) I sort by headstamp. When I load pistol plinkers (low to mid book charges) I just load 'em and shoot 'em.
.38 Special is a different animal for me. EX- loading 4.0gr of Titegroup under a 125gr FMJ is a pretty mild load. My concern is just how low the case fill % is. I get concerned about possible double charges when loading, but I bet I could triple charge one of those without it overflowing.
My question is... When loading .38 Special up to book +P loads, can I use all major brands of brass interchangeably? Meaning a mix of: FCC, PMC, WIN, Speer, Western, etc? I did separate the LC stamped brass that is being given to another member, so that has been culled out.
