cheers623 Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 Ok, so I am going to start developing some loads for my Open gun I just bought and have seen a few threads describing the use of a .223 shellplate for .38 supercomp cases. Is this the best way to do it? I know the difference between the rim size of .38 super/.38supercomp. Will supercomp cases not agree with a standard Dillon .38 super shellplate? Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks in advance, Cheers623 DVC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scirocco38s Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 I believe it is the 223/380 shellplate. I just checked mine and it is number3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warpspeed Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 One nice thing about using the 223 shellplate is that if a stray regular 38 super case gets in, it will not go in the shellplate. A gun set up to run rimless will come to a screaming halt when fed rimmed 38 super. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, #3 is the only way to go. FM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
