But, wouldn't it be just like shooting a .38 Spl +P load in a .357 Magnum? Isn't it the limitations of the gun that is only designed for .38 Spl, and not cartridge case size.
No. A load intended for a cartridge with a certain case volume will burn at higher pressures when loaded into a case of smaller volume. Do I know that this will necessarily harm the firearm or the shooter? No - but the fewer guesses you make as a reloader, the safer you'll be.
