I got a bunch of cases the other day from a friend. I was sorting threw them and had a few hundred 38spls in there. so I cleaned them up deprimed and start to put the primers in and found 6 case that all say super28spl. They look like 38spl cases they messure same as 38spl cases but take a large pistal primer. After searching all my reloading manuals I came up with nothing so did an internet search again nothing. Not supprising on the inet search can never anything there when I so searchs.
so my question here is has any one seen one like this be for and would it be ok to load it up with a large pistal primer and shoot in a 38spl or .357?
For only 6 cases, I would not load them. They sound like something that a cartridge collector might be interested in. Check around, I'm sure you'll find them a happy home.
PS: Besides the fact you'd have to work up a load for 6 cases with a different primer, small sv large. Not worth the trouble.
I have two such cases and they are both Peters. I have had them for 30+ years and I did not know about the wax bullet thing, which makes sense. I thought they were just some cases from Peters for which they had some proprietary loading maybe like an early day +P.
Alpo yah I am a bad typest and that was suppose to be 38spl not 28 sorry.
Jeff I found that as well but that is for the 38super which is an automatic round and these are 38spl they chamber just fine messure exactly the same all my other 38spl cases they just have the large primer pocket.

I did some asking of questions to a buddy that knows a few things. The original primer that was in them cases had a W stamped on them and were copper in color. If the primer that was in there when you got it was not like that then you can bet they have been reloaded atleast once and are going to be 50-60 years old. I would keep them for a collection......
They mite of hade the W in them I deprimed them and was loading new primers in them when I found them.
Keeping them put up is a good idea and I think I will do that never know they mite be valuble some day.
