You can also try some old loading data using felt wads stacked up instead of the plastic wads. The felt does not seal as well and will give a lower velocity = less recoil.

Not a suggestion, but if the COAL was maintained for the .357 (seat the boolit out .1") in the .38 case, wouldn't the powder space be OK for the heavier load?
What say the safety sages?
At the range picking up empties I have noticed Win 9mm brass that was so clean that it looked new on the inside. What powder are they using?

I have heard of drilling the flash holes a little larger with light loads. Will the sages here advise if this would help or hurt in this case?
I load 06 for my son, don't own one. He believes in super power j's for hunting but loves getting 100's of "free"cast to shoot on the range. I told him he has to buy his own factory ammo, I...
Body armor! Maybe a Rem 760 pump 30-06 with some mil surplus armor piercing. I would hate to be the neighbor across the street though.
