Sep 29, 2020 · The 38 Spl +P max pressure is 18,500 PSI while the 357 Mag is 35,000 PSI so your revolver is designed to handle almost twice the pressure as the 38 +P (1.89x to be exact). Not My President "Live free or die: Death is not the worst of evils" - John Stark
Shooting .38 special in a .357 - Ruger Forum
Oct 18, 2021 · You can't shoot .357 magnum rounds in a .38 special gun. They're too long. The .38 and ,357 are actually the same "caliber" as they both shoot the same bullets.

H110 357 magnum - Ruger Forum
Oct 16, 2024 · I willingly shoot .357 Magnum loads through my 3" barreled LCRx revolver. The bullets are Hornady 140 gr XTP JHPs, and the main load is a charge of Blue Dot that pushes them over 1,100 fps. I tried W296 powder for the loads, but was only getting about 1,020-1,050 fps before the excessive blast and recoil stopped me from continuing to work up.
.357 cylinder interchangeability - Ruger Forum
Jul 15, 2023 · The logic of shooting 38 Specials in a 357 Mag revolver is simply versatility. 38s are very accurate, they cost less, and they have way less felt recoil. You can also shoot 38+Ps .... a little higher velocity than standard 38s but nowhere near as powerful as a 357 Mag.

357 Magnum for target practice? - Ruger Forum
Feb 20, 2024 · In that sense, yes, target ammo refers to "not hollow point". Now, if you can buy hollow point for the same price as FMJ, it than becomes "target ammo". With a .357, you have an even better option, which is to practice with .38 special. Assuming you are using a revolver, you can fire 38 special in a .357 magnum revolver.
Do Not Use .38's in a .357 Magnum! - Ruger Forum
Dec 22, 2009 · Shooting .38's from a .357 will lengthen, not shorten, the life of a revolver. A good example of this is: The Smith & Wesson Model 19 is a .357 which was made for practicing with .38 Specials, but using .357 magnums for use while on duty. I would advise ignoring "the man behind the counter" on anything he says.
