Star Reloaders / Help. Question about slides

« on: August 29, 2004, 09:44:18 am »

I am setting up a recently purchased machine in .38 sp. It came with a single O slide, and a double OO slide housing. I assume I must match the slide and housing with the same number of 0"s by purchasing either another slide or another housing. I wish to load light .38 ammo for cowboy action shooting, useing a 2.7 BE slide. My question is, if I purchase a double OO slide to match the existing housing, will it drop the powder just as efficently as would a single O combination. The reason I ask is because the Double OO will have a smaller hole for the powder to drop than the single O. Or do I need to spend a larger sum of  money to buy a single O housing which has the bigger drop hole. Thanks for your thoughts.
