When my uncle passed I found a box of handloaded 38 specials without any label. I'm assuming they were handloads. I ran them through a Ruger Sp-101 and I'm glad I did. Those suckers were hot! It was before I had a chronograph, no numbers to post.

I understand data pushed 38 special faster years ago, and I have no problem running stout loads through my 67-3, but I would not have felt safe with what I found in a 38 revolver.
