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.
A "couple of grains"????

I hope you mean a couple tenths of a grain.

As was stated, just increase the .38 load by about 10% and you will have the very near equivalent load in a .357 case.

Don't use hollow base wad cutters. Ever. I suggest using 158 grain semi-wadcutter bullets.
