My son went out to buy a S&W .357 and came home with a Colt Official Police .38 Special. Go figure ! (He has a thing for older firearms). I'm going to be working up some loads for him & need some input.
The only powder I have to spare right now is Universal, pushing a 158gr LRN. I had read on a website that Colt claimed this revolver would handle 38/44 pressures. Just curious if anyone has experience with this particular Colt, and what would be considered safe upper pressures.
I'm not really looking to go for a hot load. The gun is a 1959 & I just want to keep it safe.......Thanx
