Lets say you've got a 357 magnum, which we all know can also shoot 38 Special.
And you want a round in the 1000fps range.
Does it make a difference if you push the 38 Special as opposed to loading the 357 light?
Would that .135~ before the bullet hits the forcing cone give you anything as far as velocity?
Or would it take away from accuracy?
Or are any pluses or minuses too negligible to care about?
I imagine if using lead bullets that the 357 would be easier to clean, especially the cylinder chambers.
Is there anything to be gained or lost loading one over another if you have the choice? Moreso concerning revolvers. I've read that the longer cases can feed better in some lever actions.
44 magnum/special reloaders feel free to chime in :smile:
