I think it has been tried. I think the results are that you can't get enough 38 in the case to make major. 37 works in some guns but it fills the 9 up pretty full

9.3 grains, zero 125 grain JHP at 1.19" OAL got me 169 PF out of a shorty with 4 small poppleholes. You can probably get close to 9.7 to 9.8 grains in the case.

It was a compressed load and the powder is near the top of the case but other than having to slow down to keep the powder from slinging out of the case, you'd have to have a very short bbl with holes not to be able to make major.

9.65 under a Zero 115 makes Major with room to spare at the chrono, but not much in the case. Like Larry said, loading it sucks... Been there, done that.

I tried to load earlier and you guys are right about loading it, when the plate turns on my square deal the powder jumps out of the brass.

My buddy sold me 4lbs, I guess I'll just swap it with something else.
