[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 819785, member: 3099"] Dustin, once I get that load developed you'll sort of have something to reference 'cause I'm gonna do a thread on it when I work it up. BTW, that load will not chamber in a .38 special gun, only in .357 magnums. And my sole reason for doing it is the ejector rod on my 2.5" S&W snubbie won't clear the magnum cases. What I expect to happen is to land somewhere between .38 +P and full bore magnums. But if I can safely hit the magnum velocities that will just be peachy! :hyper: Now there is nothing wrong with working up a max load for your individual gun whatever that may be. Could be that it works out to be .38 +P+. Who knows? But if you change even a component lot you need to back down and work it back up if you are running on the ragged edge. [/QUOTE]
