I've 200 rounds of what I believe are commercial reload 38 spc. Lead SWC. The powder is incredibly dirty, to the extent I really don't want to shoot them. Given ammo prices these days would it be worth pulling them and replacing the powder ?

I'm not a reloader, but have used my BIL equipment a couple of times in the past. Thinking of getting a Lee classic reloader to do this, hoping someone will sell me just enough propellant for the 200 rounds. I know at the end of the day this isn't particularly cost effective, but it'd be fun.
 
I reload .38/.357 using Unique and is a bit dirtier than other powders and as stated above, the wax contributes to this.
