leading in the chamber will be an issue when using a shorter cartridge in that longer chamber.

unless you make sure to clean it correctly each time, you will have issues getting that 357 in. also applies 32 mag, 327 federal, 32 long, 32 sw, 44 mag 44 special 44 russian 45 colt 45 schofield.

on the other hand you have to look at the other possible. do the 357s have a hard time loading immediately after shooting 38 specials in it without a cleaning? or do the 357 handloads refuse to seat in the chamber even when its clean?
if its the second issue, the cases or the overall length is to much.
