well its always been said, loading a 357 with 38 special is a good choice. ive only ehard of a few dedicated low noise 357 magnum loads and well, its better to use the 38 special jhp because, they cost less, give the same rough energy, and do the same in testing medium.

its kinda like teh debate between 357 and 327 federal.
same recoil in a snub, same noise, less energy in 327 compared to the 357, but more hten the 38 sepcial. but why get it when your 357 magnum can still shoot 38 secial when you cant stand the recoil anymore?
