Was just over on the Accurate Arms website and they've changed the reloading data. Now all they have is a PDF with limited .38 Special loads.

Does anybody have the previous .38 Special data they would care to share? Recently somebody uploaded two pages .44 Special data. I would sure appreciate the .38 Special data for 158 grain LSWC and the 173 grain LSWC using AA#5.
Thanks.

Ignatz did you right.

Here is a link to their old data pages.

I hope they don't remove them, I like the older stuff!

Let's see if this works-

OK, it didn't set up as a graph, but if you look at it you can see what is what. The first load in the row is a starting load, followed by a max load, then pressure, then OAL

What kind of firearms do you have there that you could let me borrow?

(No problem!)

This is version 3.2.2 downloaded in December 2008 (about the right time frame). Is this what you were looking for?

No, the one I was looking for was 38 only. I found my 45 Colt one, but can't find the 38 one. Thanks.

Yes I saw that, but the list I was looking for was the 38 special “only” and it was more extensive than the posted list. No biggie. Thx.
