.38 Specials
over runs or seconds from a military contract. those i shot back in the 60's and 70's had .355 or .356 slugs, powder charge was low and accuracy questionable at best. cases were quite thick resulting in a bulge if you seated a .357 slug properly. my guess is the military wanted a round for any gun chambered in 38spl, regardless age, make or strength. while in the military, people "in the know" with decent 38's dumped the issue rounds and carried SuperVel.
