IMR PB is great for Trap, Skeet, and Sporting Clays where heavy 1 ounce and 1-1/8 ounce loads are needed. In pistol it yields top performance in target and plinking loads for such cartridges as the 40 S&W, 45 Auto, etc. The small extruded grains deliver metering that is always super uniform.

| High Power Loads Warning! The loads in this table are not, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, suitable for older American "top-break" revolvers chambered for the .38 Smith & Wesson cartridge. British top-break Webleys and Enfields are safe; cartridge designations may be .38-200, .380 Rim, or .380 Mk 1. The Smith & Wesson "Victory" model, a Military & Police variant, is safe. Solid-frame U.S. guns suitable are Smith & Wesson Regulation Police and Terrier models, Colt Police Positive, Detective Special, and Bankers Special models. Caliber designation of these guns is generally .38 Smith & Wesson, but may be .38 S&W Super Police or .38 Colt New Police. Notes: Velocities shown are instrumental taken at ten feet from the muzzle. Test gun was Ruger Service-Six revolver with four-inch barrel, chambered for the .380 Rim cartridge. Cases used were new Remington-Peters and old Peters. Peters cases had greater powder capacity. Alcan Small Pistol primers used for all loads. Oehler Model 31 Chronotach and Model 51 electronic screens used to measure bullet velocities. | |||||

Not all loads may be suitable for use in a carbine or rifle chambered for this cartridge. If loading for a carbine or rifle, choose from among the loads developing the highest handgun velocities and load just a few rounds. Thoroughly test this small sample in your firearm in slow-fire mode, insuring that you achieve proper feeding and ejection. Be certain that all bullets exit the barrel; watching the target for each bullet strike is the best way to know that the load produces sufficient gas volume for a longer barrel. NOTE: Do not use the 230-GR TMJ RN loads with Gold Dot HP; maximum loads should be used with CAUTION | |||||
