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. |
I caught that too, figured just a typo. I have been using 158 grain hi-tek coated SWC's and RNFP's -so far cleanup has been a breeze even when using Unique. After looking at those pictures I won't fool with hollow base anything. I agree with the comment that more harm is done to a firearm, handgun or long gun, by aggressive cleaning than most anything else.
Consensus seems to be to bump the 38 load by a couple 10ths to 10% or so and go from there. Seems logical and I'll start there. Thanks for all the responses, awesome forum.
