Plus you don't want a bunch of overpowered loads sitting around in 38 special brass. This could cause problems for someone shooting them and did not know how they were loaded, or if you have a brain fart 3 years down the road. It is just not a safe practice.  Just load them as standard 38 specials and all is right with the world. Keith was a super bad ass innovator for his time. I would not be trying to duplicate his loads though. Shoot the hell out of that 38 brass and enjoy that GP 100. My four inch is my absolute favorite double action. One other note of caution and it is not really that big of a deal. If you shoot a lot of 38 special in your magnum you will get build up in the cylinder. I little is not a problem. If you shoot a couple hundred cast bullets from 38 special brass, you might have enough built up that will keep your magnum rounds from seating properly in the cylinder. They just have to be scrubbed out when you clean. Like I said it is no big deal just a facto of like. Same thing happens shooting 44 special in a 44 mag. Good luck.</blockquote>
