I'm going to comment on this, because I was the receipent of the so called heeled 38 Colt rounds from
GAD Custom CartridgesSo here is what I got
![Sad :(](https://www.cascity.com/forumhall/Smileys/cowboys/sad.gif)
50 loaded BP 38 Colt rounds ... they would
not chamber in my Kirst Konverter ( which measure an exact .379 on all 6 chambers )
Gads un-sized bullets measured from the smallest .387 to . 391 several measued oval .385 & .389 on the same bullet !
Few had any grease in the two grooves at all ...others partly, at least a 1/3 were crooked in the case and crimped that way.
I also received 100 bullets ( supposed to be the same ) the bag was
![Huh ???](https://www.cascity.com/forumhall/Smileys/cowboys/huh.gif)
marked 100 44 cal. ,
These were if fact the same kind of unsized heel base 38's
![Huh ???](https://www.cascity.com/forumhall/Smileys/cowboys/huh.gif)
most measure .390 + or - and 0 lube .All have cast flashing lines some have tabs of flashing.
I don't blame Cherokee Reb , he just sent on the
GAD order complete with the invoice....
I will be pulling the lead ( I say this because the crimp is so weak I can pull most of them with my fingers ) I use my puller though.
re-size the shells and melt the lead....
I will not bother the contact
GAD Custom Cartridges in all fairness as I did not deal with them direct .
However being I know the origin of this poor product, I will not place any order with them, and warn others, if this is the sort of quality control
I'd be fearful to shoot
GAD Ammo...
I can not comment on the mans GRUFF nature
