I use to shoot 38 Specals in my 357s for many years, I would order bullets for both 38/357 mag. I spent almost twice as much time making 38 target loads and 357 target and hot loads.
Then One day I got a good deal on a bunch of 357 brass and decided to try making all my loads using 357 brass.

I had heard that my accuracy would not be as good with lighter 38 loads, plus there was the possability of a low powder explosion, so I was told.
Well that was about a year ago and I still am using 357 brass for all my loads.
My loads are just as accurate, if not more so, and my cylinders do not build up with residue like it did when I was shooting 38s. all in all I have found this to be a big plus. I can have 148 Gr DEWC with 3.4Gr of bullseye or a 125Gr JHP with 14.5Gr of blue dot.

I have read some posts lately regarding 38 loads in 357 brass.
and thought I would throw in this post.

IYO when does a 38 become a 357!
