Anyone noticed significant differences in accuracy when shooting 38 special rounds in a .357 revolver? I hadheard/read that 38's generally "shoot" better since the 38's arent able to produce as much recoil/muzzle flip because of the heavier frame of the .357. Any comments?

It depends on the revolver. Some 357's are extremely accurate with 38's, some are not. You won't know until you try.

In the old days when most police use revolvers it was very common to use .38's in the 357. They normaly shoot very well I would say the expection wouldn't shoot well.
The real accurate nuts would have their 38 cly shorted to wadcutter length seems to give them the edge.

Hey robv60, I agree with the above two posters, you just have to try them.

I just reload 148gr 38Spl level loads in my 357Mag cases and that does real well too. I'll shoot 4-5 cylinders full and then run one cylinder full of jacketed ammo through it to help push any Lead out. Works great.
