Congratulations on your LCR .357!

Shoot it a bit more and I'm sure you won't notice the rattle - especially if you leave your ear muffs off a couple times.

I've mentioned this several times but will keep on mentioning this. You have a lot of ammo choices out there with a .357 magnum. I just plain will not shoot 158 grain .357 magnums out of an LCR, tried it and it hurts my hand too much. YMMV. The 125 grain .357 magnums I will shoot...just not many and any given time. All that said if I was buying one I'd for sure get the .357 even if I spent most of the time shooting .38 specials out of it. From what I've heard the .38 special will most likely get the job done anyway.

Good luck.
