Default Hodgdon 38 & 357 same max load 4.2?
Disclaimer: Don't do this ! Stay within published data !

However,
Hodgdon Data Center lists both 38spl and 357mag with the same Trail Boss max. 4.2g for a 158g LSWC.

That doesn't seem possible as they case volume is different between the two.

Trail Boss can be loaded by volume as well as weight.

Individuals' testing of Trail Boss has shown heavier weight loads doing fine.

Has anyone seen any pressure numbers for Trail Boss with above 4.2g loads ?
