Neither was with smokeless powder. One was with Black Powder and one was with King's semi smokeless. They were both in the 1920s. The BP blew a balloon case head and blew the loading gate off, nearly severing EMKs trigger finger. The other was a chain fire from loose primer pockets fired the top three chambers all at once and blew the top 3 chambers and the top strap off another Black Powder SAA...
He read that blew up a bunch o guns stuff on the interweb............
To the OP. I use 11grs 2400 under 160gr swc and 10.5grs 2400 under a 170gr in special cases in my K-frames. 5 to 5.3gr of Unique will work too. You should try something like that before you use 13gr of 2400. That is excessive in a K-frame................
