.38 Special Ammo Velocity Comparisons: Historical vs. Modern

[38SPL HV]

Very good thread…I still like to use at times the old Lyman data for "38 Special, Heavy Frames Only" but always back off a bit. They work great as utility loads in my 357 Magnums. BTW, these were the old 38/44 level loads….but the argument "why use a hot 38 Spl when you have a 357 Mag" holds true today.
