And there are those who maintain this loading represents obsolete technology... Please.

It also demonstrates that .38sp can match or exceed 9mmP in their respective pressures. The std pressure version does very well also in the 4,5 and 6" bbl hovering just at or over 1000fps.

Thanks for doing the work, Duckford, it verifies the BB .38sp as one of, if not THE very best .38sp on the market.
