It does not matter which you do.

IDPA/SSR revolver shooters shoot tens of thousands of .38 Special in 66s and 686s because the shorter cases are quicker and easier for speed reloads.

1. The accuracy is the same.
2. Yes, you have to clean the carbon/lead ring out of the cylinder, which is quick and easy with a "Tornado" brush available from Brownells.
3. If you put .38 loads in a .357 case, all you have to worry about is sticking a bullet if using very light .38 target loads, so just stay off minimum loads.
