I'll stick with my 4.1 gr. of 231 in 38 special cases with the 122 gr lead bullet.

I personally never did see the use of a 357 Magnum J frame.

But to each his own.

Very glad no one was injured.

I'm with ya Allen on the use of .357's in a J frame.Thats what K and L frames are for IMO as they wre made for the round. I also ONLY use my own handloads and also double check every one of them with a flashight in the tray. Also recalibrate my scales before and after every 50 - 100 rounds in any caliber with my old Rock Chucker that's all I'll reload during a session. No matter how much I may love shooting friends reloading skills I still dont trust them as anyone can mess up and I've seen a few magnums blown up over the years. Almost did it myself with a .41 mag. when I started reloading back in the mid 80's with that same RC.

Tried and shortly carried magnums in a 60-10 that looks just like your's and it was a handful to hold onto and regain a good sight picture quickly. Went back to shooting nothing but .38's through it and finally traded the revolver off. Also am glad no one was seriously injured.
