I have a .38Spl. R&D cylinder for a Pietta .36. If you are loading your own, or want to experiment with different factory ammo, you can find a .357 diameter bullet that will work. At least, that has been my experience. Hollow-based WCs, as mentioned earlier, are a good starting place. I had success with heavy bullets cast in a soft alloy. Lyman's #358430/195gr. RN is a good shooter in my New Police.
