Since I discovered the old 38/44 loadings of the 38 Special case, the grandfather of the 357 Magnum, I don't shoot Specials or Magnums in my revolvers so chambered. The 38/44 delivers 1100-1150 fps with a 158g bullet from 3" to 4" barrels and that's all I load and shoot. For a factory version of this try Buffalo Bore's Heavy +P 158g SWCHP-GC.
