They don't reload terribly well, the Five-seveN FN factory ammo has a lacquer coating on the cases (needed for proper extraction) that partly comes off in the size die- I do know people who swage these empty cases into bullet JACKETS for larger rifle calibers.
na, lube the cases very well and clean that off in an ultrasonic cleaner and they work just fine. That said, this is NOT the round someone should learn reloading on. It is VERY sensitive to even to a .1 grain increase in charge or slight decreases in COAL. Loading this round caused me to develop a new step in charge checking. I now throw 10 charges in a powder pan and weigh this. If the charge I threw is even .1 grain over, I reduce the amount ad do it again. It's worth it in the end for me.

For some reason I'm having trouble with my e-mail. I'm interested and will trade 38 special regular or +P.
I'll see if I can get my e-mail to work.
Okay, Robert, they're yours. If you can't get the email to work, drop me a line at PO Box 926, Pinson, AL 35126
