I loaded .38 special with 160 gr SWC and 2400 in the '70's and but lost my data. It was hot and I painted the tip red. I put many rds through my model 60 with no problems. I learned you "work up" a load for your pistol. That is what reloading is all about, not what is in the manual. The data in the manual is for reference and must be approached with some common sense. The first part of the manual goes through the steps and proper procedures. That info is what keeps you safe.
