I have the M&P 340 which is about 2 ounces heavier than your 360PD. I do not enjoy shooting magnums, even Speer Short Barrel, out of this revolver. I load 4 158 grain .38 +p and a 158 grain .357 magnum in the 5th chamber. I practice mostly with reloads simulating the +P recoil and then a cylinder, or two, of reloads simulating the magnum recoil. I really do not enjoy shooting 50 rounds of this combination. I prefer my 6-1/2" S& W 629 and .44 magnum by comparison.
