NOOOOOO!!!! as those who followed up before I saw this wisely responded.
This is strictly for classic revolvers chambered in 38-44 (mostly N-frame S&Ws and a few Colt's) or 357 magnum (there are a number of modern revolvers that were chambered in 38 Special and 357 Mag while in production simultaneously for various legal/sales reasons, e.g. the Ruger Security-Six, that may be safe to use but you would have to decide for you and your gun)
I recommend checking into a back issue of
Handloader if you are interested in 38-44 loads.
His test data was developed using a S&W 38-44 Outdoorsman with a 6.5" barrel.
