Since the 357 mag has a bit more case volume, just up whatever 38 Spl powder charge by .1-.2 grains to make up for the larger case volume to get within specified velocity.

I'm stoked. I went out yesterday and shot a hundred rounds off just to make empty brass lol.

Is there any real world advantage to loading .357 down to 38spl, over just shooting 38spl in an L frame? Are you going to notice any difference?

It puts the bullet further in the chamber.

You'll probably never notice a difference in accuracy.

You don't get that carbon ring build up in the chambers preventing a .357 magnum round from seating all the way in after shooting the .38 special cases.
