Why use them when the BB 158gr 38 +P LSWCHP get a claimed 1040 fps (380 ft. lbs.) from a 2inch barrel and the equivalent BB short barrel 158gr only gets 1,015 (granted, from a 1 7/8 inch barrel) (361 ft. lbs.).
Perhaps they are simply equivalent.
So based on those numbers I'd either carry the BB 38+P LSWCHP or skip the short barrel 357 load and go with the full house one. The tactical load just seems too watered down when compared against the 38+P unless I'm missing something.
