Sarge, according to....
...the Hodgdon #26 Manual, 8.0 grains of 231 underneath a 250 grain bullet generates 15,600 CUP, and the Speer #12 Manual also indicates that it is within SAAMI spec, but your point is well taken. I have no intention of "red-lining" this old Smith & Wesson. For the next load I try, I am going to stick with the 8.0 grains of 231, but I am going to drop back to the 235 grain 452423 (this gun has a short cylinder and only a few bullets are going to work).
