    At the range today and tried new box of Hornady extra lite 38 spec from Cabelas in my J frame. First shot failed to fire. Second shot failed to fire. Tried to open revolver and it was stuck. I was fortunate that owner of Range in Baker was able to clear revolver. The pink tip of projectile had come loose from case and lodged in bbl (squib) while the primer was struck on both rounds. Tried some more rounds and they FTF with printing primer in another J frame. Shot 20 rounds range loads in original J frame with no problems. So heads up on anyone shooting these pink tipped Hornady cartridges. jim
