this was a standard .357 Semi Wadcutter Load back before they introduced magnum primers. The current loads get higher velocities in the Ruger GPs than Speer did in 1959 using a Smith pre-27 6.5" the 14 grains / 2400 reaches the base of the bullet with the bullet seated to the bottom edge of the crimp groove and is slightly compressed at the full seating depth. The load seems mild with no difficulty in extraction or other gross pressure signs.
