Groo here
There was an FBI load that was used in their M-66 and M-65 revolvers.
It was made up in 38 cases but was closer to mid-range 357
pressures.
This ammo was made up this way to help with the short extractors
on the 2 1/2 in M-66's ][38s extract easier as they are shorter]
Also this ammo was not avable or allowed to be given to any
other group or officer as the high pressures could damage
smaller 38's .
I suspect that it was the old 38-44 load or similar...just a different bullet..
Also this was before +P and +P+ was used.
