I have two .38 specials and five .357 mags. I figured it would be easier for me to load a bunch of .38's which I could shoot out of each gun. After thousands of rounds, the crud ring got to the point it was difficult to load the .357's when we shot them.

A lot of scrubbing later I got the crud rings out and now mainly shoot the .357's. I still shoot the .38's, but I usually try to keep them for only the .38's.

When I want a lower powered round for the .357, I will load them to the .38 Special levels.

Just my opinion and experience.
