+P loadings nowadays are the standard loadings 75 years ago. Ammo used to be loaded a lot hotter in pre suefest days. All you have to do is look at Elmer Keith's loading data in the day.

Sure I'd love to see for my 3 inch Webley and 4 inch Colt Bankers for them to make a hotter .38 S&W round but I know there are many old cheep top break guns that might blow with such loads. Deaf

Much more likely is that serious advancement in actual pressure measuring well beyond the old copper crusher methods are employed today that give ballisticians real proof of what is happening with these loads than a lot of the black magic of the past. History is a wonderful thing and it has gotten us where we are, but it's a lazy generalization to claim that everything was "great in the old days" and has been mucked up by lawyers today.
