[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 2354242, member: 15054"] I do not own a 38..not legal to hunt deer with so it is a useless gun to me. Most all of my 38 brass has the primer holes drilled a tad larger and i use it for shooting crayons. Prime a case insert a crayon and break it off flush and insert into revolver 1 at a time. Then shoot at a box with a rag draped over the opening...Fun FUN..Kids love to learn gun safety and this is a good teaching tool that is cheap . All those broken or short crayons have a new life. Adults like the round also. :) I have melted down the crayons and stuck the primed shell into it...But crayons are brittle and will shrink. An old candle is also a good choice for filling the primed case. The reason for drilling the primer hole ,,is that the primer will back out of the brass and make the cylinder hard to open. Drilling the hole larger keeps the primer from backing out so far...Keep the modded brass separated. And backing out primers is the reason for single loading... This round will dent a new car... Use common sense and caution. That crayon load works well for rogue squirrels also. I cronied the crayon and got 275 FPS it is no slouch. [/QUOTE]
