I searched around and did not find exactly what I was looking for, so here is the question. I want to do some competition shooting with my S&W 327 TRR8 and so far have not shot but one box of 357 magnum loads but several thousand 38 special target loads through it. My question is: would the accuracy be much better loading 357 cases which are longer than the 38 special cases with the lead semi wadcutter bullets. I have been using 3gr w231 with Winchester small pistol primers and was going to bump the load up to 4gr of w231 in the 357 cases. This should give a very mild load with fast return to target sighting since the competition must shoot one handed and I have some serious arthritis in my shoulder and elbow joints.
PLease let me know what you think since I need to get the 357 cases or if the change in accuracy is very little I will use the 38 special cases. Thanks for the help.
