But I'm already a magnum happy fool!

Fair enough. Like I said, I've never shot one.

A 158 LSW at 1100+ fps isn't a .38 Special or even a +P. They are in the 28k psi area...

Nope, I admit I haven't - haven't had an opportunity to shoot anything through one - never even held one.
BUT, isn't a 158gr LSWC at 1,100fps basically the same as a moderate .357 load? If not, how is it different, or better?
