Trapper7,

In OLD Lyman Reloading Manuals they had a Maximum load of 5.4 grains of Unique behind the 148 grain Wadcutter in the .38 Special. The current Lyman Manuals are far lower in powder charges of Unique. In 2-inch guns, this load works in my Colts and Smiths. Like a lot of my accuracy loads developed in the 1970s and 1980s, the current reloading manuals are lower in powder charge recommendations. In the 7mm RM, .30-06, 6.5x55, and .243, I would never have found my accuracy loads with today's manuals. I never had pressure signs, so I assume they just "Lawyered Up."

Adam
