Do any of you guys know if there was also a standard pressure loading of the metal piercing round?

The box I had I got when I was a young deputy sheriff. I thought they would be just the ticket for my off duty gun, a fairly new on the market Model 60. I was carrying a M28 on duty loaded with full bore Magnums and wanted something with a bit more punch in the stainless Chief's Special (this was a few years before SuperVel and the whole +P business came along).

Anyway I found that box of 38 Special Metal Piercing rounds (think they were Western) and figured I was on to something until I shot some. They felt just like the standard 158g RNL loading. Figured the guy who sold them to me saw me coming and I didn't do much more business with him. Kept that mostly full box of 38s for years before probably finally giving it away.
