    I have 9mm 124gr bullets from xtreme and they are great. Bought 2k of them and the quality seems great. Also using Titegroup.

    Rotor, here is a YouTube tutorial on using a Lee Loader to load 38 Special ammo. I used to use one when I was a kid to reload .45 ACP. I am with this guy on priming though and I picked up a Lee New Auto Prime priming tool as I used to set off a few large pistol primers in the day banging away with a hammer and hunk of 2x4 to protect the die and tools.

    I previously used a similar tool to reload shotgun shells and still have the tool. Just thought in your case the hammer punch might break the copper plating. Let us know how it works.

    I will, still waiting on UPS to deliver the darn things. I have been told that X-Treme usually includes a load card with their bullets. If not, I have some load data I can try. All I have for powder right now is Unique and HP-38.

    Kantor99 can you contact me. I'm interested in purchasing your 38 super 1911. Im not able to reply on your ad due to being new.
    I don't have a .38 Super 19811 right now. I an thinking about getting a .38 super barrel and magazines for my 9mm 1911 (NOT FOR SALE) but why are in my thread about loading X-Treme bullets in 38 SPECIAL?

    I do. I use em for 38 spcl and 357. They work well under a charge of Titegroup.

    Edit: Looks like my latest loads are with Universal, because I hate that crap in my Semi-Autos because I always end up with unburned powder everywhere inside the gun and on my hands.

    You are saying that Universal is dirty, not Titegroup right?

    Attempting to circumvent the rules when you're new (well, anytime, but especially when you're new and openly admit you're on here to try to break the rules) isn't exactly smart. It gets you invited to find a home elsewhere.

    I've run 38Sp, 9mm - 124's and 147's, 40S&W and 45.

    The bullets are great.

    For 38Sp I like Bullseye and Unique and have used TiteGroup. 3N37, N320, Longshot are not good 38Sp powders.
    . My chrono told me.
