Before shooting, have your gun checked by a gunsmith.
Use BLACK POWDER ONLY


Reloading Kit for .38 short Colt , .38 long Colt / 380 short & long Revolver





1) PRIMING: Place the primer on a flat, hard surface.
Position the base of the empty cartridge case over the primer, and the kit’s
extractor rod into the bottom of the case: strike the rod with a mallet.




2) Charge the case with a measure of black powder.
Be careful : The measure is first ad  foremost a tool to handle the powder : 
it may be too great for  short cases ( No more place to put the base of the bullet
without compressing the powder) or too small for long cases.
NEVER COMPRESS THE POWDER  WHEN FORCING THE BULLET INTO THE CASE   /   DO NOT USE THE MEASURE WHEN USING  SMOKELESS POWDERS





3) Place the case on the tool base and then put a bullet head on the top of the case.
Cover with the main tool, groove-marked end downward.
(The tool base is machined on both sides: Short case ; use small perforation side of the tool base.
Long case ; use deep perforation side  of the tool base).





4)Adjustment of the seating tool :

 A) -Antic type 9.50mm  bullet: With a mallet, force the bullet head progressively into
the case until it is shoulder deep.
    -9.10mm  C.I.P type bullet:  force the bullet head into the case  about 5mm and,
at the most,  as far as the middleof the crimping groove.
B)
Screw the bushing down against the main tool and fix it in place with the nut.




5)OPTIONAL

Crimping:
Put the support washers into the tool base. Put the cartridge above the supports.
Cover the whole with the main tool, groove-marked end downward.
Strike with a mallet until the main tool comes into contact with the tool base.

NB: For crimping, instead of a mallet, a vice can be used.






AFTER SHOOTING:

1) Deprime the case with the deprimer. Clean the case with a solution of water and detergent.





2) Lubricate the case and re-size it.




3) Push the case out of the re-sizing die using the extractor rod and the mallet.
The case is now ready for reloading.






The use of other propellants is done entirely at the user’s own risk.
If you intend using other propellants, consult a good reloading manual first
