I used to load and shoot .38 spl in my mag revolvers, and the Marlin Carbine too, but no longer. Just more brass to have around the place. The only .38 I shoot now is thru the M36, which is my only .38, and I don't shoot it all that much. If I want mild loads in the others, I simply download mag cases.

I've never loaded a single ctg in .40 S&W, though I've owned a HiPower so chambered for about 10 yrs. My supply of factory .40 is about done, so that may change. I've got a fair amount of brass and slugs about the place, but again, not shot the pistol that much.
