I do have a 686. but I cut my reloading teeth on the .38 special and I'm still interested in its capabilities. I'm not obsessed with near magnum pressure. I mostly shoot target wadcutters, but like I said, I do like to experiment and before a range session is over, I pop a few big ones. In fact, I've got my .357 cases loaded right around the .357 minimum load for HD purposes because I don't want to blow our ears out.
What got me interested again, was that in increasing my HD and carry 'arsenal' one of my picks for simplicity was a model 36. I had to sell my mod 10 to get the 686 (boo hoo). So I'm naturally interested in testing out what hot loads feel like in a J-frame and similar to my sub .357 rounds but within .38 specs. I'd sure like to have a model 10 again one day.
To everything there is a season
A time to shoot target
A time to shoot zombies......
