[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 819628, member: 3099"] The .38 cases are not as thick in the web area. Take a dremel with a cuttoff wheel and section one of each. You'll see. That said I'm going to see if I can come up with a modern version of the old Skeeter Skelton load (after I get a chrono). A .38 case with a Lyman 358156GC bullet seated in the 2nd crimp groove. This gets very close to the same internal capacity of the .357 mag but in a .38 case. He shot these with a charge of 13.5 grains of 2400. Now he also shot them in an N Frame S&W .357, so take that into consideration. Any other bullet and I wouldn't try it with because it has 2 crimp grooves just for doing this. [/QUOTE]
