Here is what TFL staff had to say about reviving zombie threads:

There are several courses of action to take when you spot a "zombie" thread:
a) Ignore it and move on.
b) Post in it with any new information you may have for the member.
c) Report it to the moderators so that it can be closed if the resurrecting post is of no value, and the thread should never have been brought back up.

It's always a judgment call as to whether an additional contribution to an old thread is valuable or irrelevant. If, for example, the update reports a technology change or advance that obsoletes some of the information in the old post, that can be useful to future readers who search topics and find old posts. On the other hand, the usual old-thread problem applies that people cease to contribute to the board for one reason or another (a lot of us are not spring chickens any longer and can go to our final rewards), and thus, posts in an old thread cannot be counted on to be addressing original contributors. This thread has two contributors who haven't been on the board since 2021 and one who hasn't been here since 2022. So, information in a new post in an old thread like this one has to stand on its own.

In this instance, the new post mentions a powder that is not in the original thread, so I am inclined to leave it.

But we don't keep adding new text to the bible. It should be noted that if we close a thread to prevent additional comments, it may still be searched for and read, so its information is still available, and its original value is not lost.

The overall point of the thread is unchanged, which is that there are few circumstances in which 357 Magnum loads for rifles and handguns are any different. If you shop for commercial 357 Magnum cartridges, they are labeled "357 Magnum." There is no separate 357 Magnum Rifle-Only or 357 Magnum Revolver-Only ammo on the store shelves. Manufacturers don't want the potential liability that could result from someone slipping a specialty round into the wrong gun. The idea that cartridges for revolvers can be charged a little warmer to compensate for the barrel/cylinder gap, or for cylinders that are longer than the cartridge and thus have more jump to the forcing cone, is just for handloaders. Personally, I avoid making that distinction because it is possible to forget you loaded something just for one gun, or for a label to come off an ammo box, or for someone else to get hold of the load and ignore the label, etc.
