I found some .38 loads in a Sierra manual from about that time and they were substantially higher than most manuals today allow. Having a model 10 in good shape I started working up to the load and actually felt I should drop back some before I got halfway up. I don't think it was unsafe, but they were startlingly more hot that I was used to.

38/44 loads were intended for N frames - I think you were pushing your luck using a K frame.
