I am currently loading .358 diameter laser cast lead bullets for my .357,and .38 pistols.I recently obtained some cast lead bullets that are .357 diameter,can I use the same load data for these, as the .358 diameter bullets? I am using Titegroup powder,and the bullets seem to be about the same hardness.

Actually, the relationship of the chamber throats to the size of the bullet have more to do with accuracy than the barrel/bullet size.
For instance, if the chamber throats are .359 in, and the bullets are .357, expect less accuracy.
FYI: the chamber throat is the area at the end of the cylinder, just prior to the forcing cone in the barrel.
