I e-mailed Kimber and they say that the 38 Super Target II has a supported chamber.

Does that mean that I can go above maximum weighed charges stated in the manuals?

no!

YeaYow,

Why not? It may be possible to load close as hot as the raceguns that shoot for the power factors at tournaments.

Is it possible to load to 1400-1450 feet per second since the chamber is supported?

You must follow safe reloading practices and work up a load for your gun. The max loads are just that... max loads. However, you may be able to find a load that gives you what you desire and is still safe in your gun.

use many sources of load data, and start safe. Look for pressure signs, and STOP if you see any sign of excess pressure.
