I have not fired a 38 super in many years, do not have one anymore. But have an ammo can full of brass from new to 2 or 3 times fired.Loose primer pockets is kinda like that first heart attack. A warning that you might really
want to consider what you are doing a little more closely.
As to mattw - important tip: never believe that Win .38 Super brass is even close to as strong as Rem,
Starline/Midway or PMC brass. No matter what is marked on the head stamp. Somewhere I saved
a piece of W-W nickel .38 SUper +P+ brass that had bulged literally about 1/16th of an inch at the
unsupported feed ramp area, to the point that bare brass was showing in a tiny alligator skin pattern
between islands of nickel. VERY scary and probably about 3 psi from blowing out. All the IPSC folks
who were loading major caliber .38 Super learned the hard way to stay away from W-W brass.
Later, they came up with the integral ramped barrels which much more fully supported the brass
and any brass was OK with max loads with that "ramped chamber" or "supported chamber" type
of barrel.
