I am new to loading the .38 special.  I noticed two different primer pocket sizes in the brass that I have.  Does it make any difference in the load data for either of the primer sizes?

Thanks

 

Phil

because the special operates at a moderate pressure,there should be little worry if you are within its SAAMI pressure limits.any published,pressure tested data should be safe.for the best accuracy you might not notice any difference,but then you may need to segregate them.
