Sometime in the late 1980s or early 1990s SAMMI reduced the maximum pressure for .38 spl and .357 Magnum.

I'm not a handloader, so I can't say when or why, but I have read enough times that the old standard pressure .38 ammunition was higher pressure than modern day .38 +P ammunition.

Now we could be on to something, notice the dates and loads of the manuals I posted.
