You brought back a very old thread then gave an incorrect answer. The OP in 2011 was asking about the 38 S&W, not the 38 S&W Special. It's also not a good idea to use "magnum" powders in a .38 Special because of the danger of going over pressure and possibly causing injury to those around you. If you want magnum velocities shoot a .357 Magnum.

That poor Colt, such a nice .38 S&W...
