Glad to know I'm not playing tricks on my eyes then. Thank you!

I just went down to the store and looked at the Lyman manuel 49 agan. There was a 150 gr and, I THINK (hard to be certain from the B&W picture and there was no id on the type of bullet) a 158 gr lead bullet. But the loadings were weak. Nothing above 1000 ft per second and the PSI was all between 16000 and 17000. The only +P loadings were for the 150 gr and, again the PSI was all between 16000 and 17000. (My speer manuel lists 20,000 PSI as, I believe, the maximum for .38 Special+P).
But, except for the light 120 gr and I think 146 gr, all the other loadings were Jacketed or Semi-Jacketed.
