I have a Colt Shooting Master, and have tried some 38-44 loads with 2400 and 160gr commercial BBSWCs These bullets take up more room in the case than true Keith types. I find that 12gr is really great, but I don't like the look of 13gr in Starline .38spl+P cases with Federal primers. Ejection is still easy with the left thumb, but primers are flat. The 12gr load gave 1135fps in my 3in M-66.
