I wasn't sure if this belonged Defensive Ammunition & Ballistics or not. Admin feel free to move it.
I have a sp101 in .357 mag. I would like to buy .38 spl factory ammo, shoot it, and reload it to .38 spl specs. Are there any down sides to doing this? Will .38 spl eventually cut a ring in each cylinder the way a .22 short would (over time) in a SP101 chambered for .22 lr? Any other helpful comments/favorite loads would be appreciated.
