This is not necessarily sound advice. There is more space inside a .357 case than a .38 case - and space has a lot to do with pressure. It may not sound like much, but that .10" could make a difference. While 4.8 gr in a .357 is within acceptable limits, there is a reason why it is over the max load in a .38.
The frame may be able to handle the additional pressure generated in the smaller .38 case with the overcharge. I would not personally want to take that chance.

But, wouldn't it be just like shooting a .38 Spl +P load in a .357 Magnum? Isn't it the limitations of the gun that is only designed for .38 Spl, and not cartridge case size.
