Lyman 39 (Copyright May, 1953) is pretty interesting Skip, the only problem is most of the handgun powders are no longer available. But for old fogeys, like me, that still prefers Bullseye and Unique it does come in handy.

Max* loads they list in the Heavy Frame guns only section using 2400 include:

150 gr. Thompson H.P. Gas Check or 150 gr. wadcutter....13.5 gr.

148 gr. Cast hollow base...14.0 gr.

160 gr. Keith hollow point and hollow base...12.0 gr.

158 gr. Thompson Cast Plain Base...13.5 gr.

* Caution!!! This data is for use in heavy framed revolvers in good condition only.
