I know that Remington and Winchester used to load this ammo way back when, it was pretty anemic from what I learned. The reason for it's coming in to being was to give LEO something that approximated the vaunted .41 Long Colt. I have been thinking of experimenting with this bullet weight in the .38 SPL, However I would like to try and run at (+P) pressures and try to get close to 850fps from the 4" barrel of my S&W M10.
My issue however is there is no current load data for this bullet weight in the .38 SPL. I do have some older data for 2400 but I'm unsure if the stated charge weight is still considered safe or not. I am aware of one fellow who used the older data with Rem 200gr bullets and got about 850fps from his 4" M10. So what do you all think?
