Shot factory loaded Super .38 from two or three revolvers, both .357 Magnum and .38 Special - one M36 Smith, to be precise.

They shot pretty much normally, as I recall; nor did I have much problem with extraction. (But then, I'm one of those 'muzzle up, pump and shake' types.)

Having said all that, it's probably not the best idea for routine use. More one of those 'having a really bad day' solutions.

Also, I'm in the Long Beach, CA area and I have a couple boxes of factory (Remington, I think) .38 Special +p ammo I would be happy to trade, provided neither of us will go to jail in the process.
