Beautiful Razorback's. I love mine in 10mm.

I love them both, 38S and 10mm, they are under rated and see little daylight. I have a real love for them both, but the 38 Super is cats meow. Fast and harder hitting then a 45ACP, standard velocity for 130gr ball 1250fps in the early 1930's. Current SAAMI pressure is listed at 36,500, but loading manuals still show only show loads of max to 3200psi range and Hodgdon list max for +P at 34,600psi most likely thanks to lawyers.

I've loaded and shot +P in both Colt LWC and Dan Wesson w/o a SMILE or primer problem. I have 115gr loads that are probably about 1400fps or more. The hot 130gr loads are still light recoil compared to 10mm though.
