I noticed that the 36 conversion cylinder is offered in 38 special.
Question:
Would a special, hollow-based cast bullet be required to work accurately in the 0.375 bore ( 0.375 vs 0.358)? Yes. A hollow based bullet would be required to get any kind of accuracy
While I don't have a conversion cylinder for any of my .36s, people I know that do have either had their barrels sleeved, or use hollow base wadcutters. While I don't know for 100% sure, I'm fairly certain there are hollow base molds out there that can be used.

I'm sure others with more experience will chime in soon.
