Thanks Calfed. I think that load used to be referred to as "The F.B.I. Load." That's always been my preferred load just based on the literature I've read by Ayoob, Marshall, Sanow, and others. It's interesting that most agents didn't carry .357 Mag fodder in their .357's, but I'm guessing it was because of the excessive muzzle blast and noise in short-barreled guns. Most people seem to be more accurate with the .38 +P's. Thanks again for the info and the photos.
