I have a little OCD when it comes to cleaning stainless. Many years ago I shot 38 brass in a 686 and those rings in the cylinders used to drive me crazy. Right or wrong, it's too late to change me now. I have a lot of 357 brass and use coated bullets mainly to cut down on cleaning time. I do want to experiment with different powders and coated bullets though, and have done a lot of searching on the various powder web sites, and even bought a book. Most of the recipes that I want to try are written for the 38 case however.
Look down in the case. That is a skirt blown off. I was making a target load for my 19 using 3.2 of American Select at 25y. This happened several times. I couldn't make it do that with Bullseye powder. Here is the target and the far right hole is where the sliver of lead went and stuck in the board. The sliver in on the duct tape I was using to sight in. The lower hole in the group was that shot. I happened to have a spotter telling me the shots.
