Is there a conversion factor somewhere to compensate for the longer brass or is one even required?
Thanks.

Just what bullets do you plan on reloading. I shoot 38 specials in my 357 guns and shoot 38 special loads in 357 cases all the time. Like has been said it’s not magic vodoo. Pick a bullet and load for 38 special and adjust powder charge slightly by a couple grains higher.
I have loaded lots of 38 special loads in 357 cases without adjusting the charge. However I normally do not start at the lowest load and usually start a few grains higer if using 357 cases.
