5.4 grains of CFE Pistol is max for a 158 grain Hornady XTP in .38 Special +P, according to the Hodgdon website.
For lead, it would be higher.
5.0 grains with a MEI 158 grain cast SWC yields 1029 fps at 16,700 psi.
I'm still not sure 7.5 would be withing +P pressures.
I don't think it would be a problem in a K frame, but wouldn't want to light one off in my J frame.
It would probably be a great load for my 66.
