Hoptob had another thread about VV powders. He posted chrono data on Speer 135gr GDHPSB in .38spl on 7.5gr VV3N37 at 998fps in a 1 7/8" J-frame and 1011fps from an SP101 2 1/4". Larry Gibson tested this load for me in his Contender with pressure trace at an even 20,000psi for a 10 shot average. It went 1203 from his 7.9" solid barrel.

The thread was entitled; "Are the guns weaker on this side of the pond".

Hoptob's other thread was locked but you can use the search feature to find it. I brought it to the top a few years ago and my post was deleted and the thread was locked.....................
