This is from my instruction sheet for a model 49 bodyguard, printed Oct 1978. Basically it says to stay away from LE ammo,so called plus-p-plus and plus-plus p. which were made for the U.S. Treasury department. For shooting in K frame 38 special revolvers, do not shoot it in guns made before 1958 which do not have a model number on the yoke cut out on the frame. It also says do not shoot +p+ out of J frame revolvers. Its old information and likely out of date.

"If you reload for him, you're violating federal laws. I know many reloaders make ammo for friends, but legally (for decades) if you reload for others you must have a manufacturer's license."
That's very good advice from this poster. If anyone wants reloads, I tell them to bring their supplies and sit at my bench and use my equipment.

I DO NOT reload for anybody. Too much liability. I should have said I was teaching him how to load. He brought his own brass etc.
Besides, personally, I find pulling the lever extremely boring (even though I PAY CLOSE attention).
Why would I want to pull the lever for someone else?
I also teach people how to make beer. NO way am I making it for them. Too MUCH work.
I'm old and retired!
