[QUOTE="Norske, post: 106618, member: 409"] Many people don't realize that even the 357 Magnum has been toned down as lighter revolvers became chambered for that round that in its original loadings would shake an N-frame Smith loose quite quickly. The original loading made 1500 fps from an 8 3/8" barrel. an equivalent handload would be a 160gr bullet over 14gr N2010 powder ([U]Cooper on Handguns[/U], Jeff Cooper1974). By 1974, the factory load was 200fps slower. It's slower than that now. The point is, don't rely on older load data. Powders change(Is N1020 still available?), pressure measuring methods get better, and in the case of handguns, guns tend to get lighter over time. [/QUOTE]
