I agree with this gentleman. I use 38+p in all my 357's (don't own any 38's). My carry gun is a 3 inch model 65 with Speer GD "short barrel" loads. I turned 50 two weeks ago but I can put all six in an apple size spot on the target at 10 yds off-hand standing.
I will say that some other posters suggest the Buffalo Bore loads. I ran a box of the 38 +P "heavy duty" loads through my 4 inch Python. That was also very accurate and no where near the leading that I got from the Winchester lead SWHP load. If you do go with the traditional 158 gr SWHP; go with the Buffalo Bore loads.
