I read an article in the most recent edition of American Handgunner regarding the .38 Super. They said with the right load you could get it runnin almost as hot as a .357 Magnum. What do you guys think of the round hot or not?
USMC Vet said:Having owned a # of 38 supers over the years, IMHO it is one very fine caliber, IF you handload. It is nearly as effective as the 45 ACP, & without
the recoil. The 38 super is to the 1911 as the 44 spl is to the single action.
My .02 cents

TonyRumore said:In the VihtaVuori 3rd edition loading manual, it lists the 38 Super +P pushing a 124gr Hornady FMJ at 1594fps from a 5.5" barrel using 10.9gr of N105.
Seems a bit optimistic, but I haven't tried it.....maybe.
