My 14 yr. old grandson Trevor, is learning to reload 38 Spec.
His current system is " Low Tech ", but is dependable and safe.
Certainly not a " high end " Dillion system.
I've racked my brain for a reliable, safe way for him to dispense powder.
This is what I've come up with for now.
I had an old Pacific powder measure with a fixed brass rotor that throws exactly 3.0 grs. of Bullseye. One of the things that appealed to me is he cannot get it out of adjustment , it won't throw more or less than 3.0 grs. of Bullseye. That charge of Bullseye isn't ideal and perfect for all 38 Spec. loads, but you can use it for a very wide variety of bullet weights in the 38 Special.
He is currently shooting 3.0 of Bullseye with a 148 gr. W/C in 38 Spec. wadcutter brass.
