Factory lead wadcutters usually don't lead. They're going about 600fps out of a 4".Shooting the 357 full power jacketed loads reduces the build up of lead from 38 lead wadcutters. It does work don't know how.
I have been doing this since I bought my first 357 handgun in 1978.
Even more fun, permanently gift then a flinch reaction, Thanks buddy.Just for bubblegums and giggles, load the cylinder with two .357 loads and the rest in .38 Special and hand it off to your shooting buddy. Fun to watch the expression on their face when they unexpectedly fire the .357
Wifes purse gun is a 357 'Belly Gun' she practices with 38spl and finishes the session with 357 the hollow points she carries in it to remember...So I am getting a 357 next weekend, unless something drastic happens.
But part of the reason for my arsenal is to step up between calibers to ease new shooters into it.
I was reading online and it said that because .38 spl and .357 are the same diameter, you could shoot .38 out of a .357 but not the reverse.
Has anyone actually done that? I know you can't do it 357 out of a 38 due to higher pressure and longer cartrige and all that. But I was always told that you never shoot anything under than what the gun says.
Oddly I trust you randos on the internet more than other randos on the internet.
Bonus question: do you think that a good step up plan to fill in the gab between 22LR and 45LC?
Like 22, 38, 357, 45?
A double negative means..In my 686 with a 7in barrel you cannot tell the gun handles the same with 357/38's the only difference is the noise and yes I said 7in barrel .
Relax. I would never do that to a newb, and the rest of my shooting pals aren't pussys.Even more fun, permanently gift then a flinch reaction, Thanks buddy.
