    At aprroximatelt 9:15 I skipped the security six, an oversight on my part. But off camera I tried the Remington ammo and it fit perfectly. Also, I said 1/2,500 of a centimeter. I misspoke, it's about 1/375

    Cool. You spoke of the .001”-.002” bullet diameter difference between 38 Special/357 Magnum and the old 38 S&W. I fire the same cast 125gn bullets sized to .3585 in my 38’s, my 357 and my 9mm. Not making an argument just the .002” bigger reminded me is all. Also in my limited experience a thousandth usually isn’t enough of a difference to make a difference though I start my load development at the lowest charge I can find data for and I don’t work up past the best groups, well once they start to open back up again I stop

    8:24. I really love how Paul and crew record everything in real time just like if I was standing there watching in person and ever how it comes out is what they present as much as they possibly can. Example: When Paul started testing the second box of ammo and picked up the first revolver, which he originally said was his Model 36, he called it his Model 15. It was never corrected on screen and I'm OK with that. Paul is a real guy making real content in real time with real tools and equipment. Little errors and inconsistencies occur. That's life. But another great presentation by a seasoned Professional.

    I've read that the S&W uses a .361" bullet. I've got an Enfield from 1943 (WW2 surplus) and a S&W lemon squeezer from 1902 and both of them slug to a barrel diameter of about .361". Many modern manufacturers do exactly what modern reloaders do and just use incorrect .357 or .358" bullets, in which case they will fit into a 38/357 gun. They work in the old guns but won't be very accurate, but most people won't notice.

    If a bridge is rated for a 4000 pound load and you roll a 3-ton truck over it, the bridge is not going to collapse on that truck. The kicker is, the next ten cars that cross it afterwards might get across, but the eleventh car may end up in the river. Overloading may not result in instant and spectacular failure, but may impart enough damage that even repeated normal use afterwards will accumulate damage to the point of failure.

    @@jasonshults368 not a throat issue, one I took to a gunsmith and had it chamfered for fast reloads. The other I bought a few years later and never had it chamfered. Somehow I'm the guy that friends come to if they want to try out a gun or learn to shoot. Anyway I found that handing someone a heavy stainless steel revolver with mild recoil ammo boost their confidence in mastering the defense tool that they had a little fear of. That said, I would hand a 70 year old friend of my mother my SP101 or GP100 that was loaded with 38 Colts. When she was confident with it, I'd load .38 Long Colts, then progress to .38 Spl. At that point, to a lighter revolver. But that's not what I want to get into right now. I buy or reload .38 Colts and .38LCs for that reason. One day I was in Academy ( a sporting goods store here is Texas) looked up and saw they had .38 Colts on the shelf. Well, factory load Remington green and yellow box all look the same. What I grabbed was .38 S&W, didn't notice till I got home. Was a little upset because I couldn't return them. However, out of curiosity I checked to see if any would chamber them. To my surprise the chambered SP101 and a couple others did. .38 Colt is the parent case to .38spl so all 357 or 38 spl revolvers should be fine with modern factory loaded 38 colt or long colts. .38 S&W is a tapered wall cartridge, it's base is slightly larger than that of the 38 Colt, 38 Spl., 357 Rem Mag. So some guns have loose enough tolerance to chamber the. 38 S&W and some may need to be chamfered.

    @@2326TX I was slightly worried of the slightly larger projectile of the .38sw combined with the weaker charge behind it causing the bullet to get stuck in the barrel, but since Paul just blasted a bunch of those out of a 357 and never mentioned this being a possibility, i guess it's fine?

    I had some .38 s&w that fit in a Model 10 Smith......Buffalo Bore makes a hi velocity round that is not safe for Top Break type revolvers. Even in regular form...it is a very good round for older/ recoil shy shooters. Even though slow moving....with the 145 grain bullet...it has the knockdown power similar to a .380. It would be interesting to see you test the two. But swing out cylinder revolvers like Colt Police Positive and S&W Terriers/ Regulation Police are getting expensive, and harder to find.

    @@jagx234 if your intent is saving money, they aren't that much cheaper like the difference between.38 and .357. If you want versatility for an adverse scenario, while you're technically correct, none of those are easy to come by, at least in no way .38/357 is. But if you're recoil sensitive, and want to train with something that won't disturb you, now that's a great choice. Training with less powerful loads is a great way to get used to a gun, even if you intend to load it with something much more powerful in a real scenario.

    @@jagx234 I used to shoot "brute calibers" at ease. But, after I got a work injury, even a regular .357 mag load is too much for me. Where I live, I have no access to .327 mag, so have no experience to share. However, my father owns a .32 S&W L revolver, and I would have no problem spending an afternoon shooting it, if ammo was easier to come by. In case of a .327 mag revolver (with 32 S&W L ammo), which, due being more robust, in theory, may be slightly heavier, and thus, have even less recoil than a .32 S&W L only gun, it would have everything to be a pleasant experience for other family members to get into shooting, while still presenting a large room of flexibility for you to shoot more powerful loads. If you have no difficulty getting both the gun and ammo where you live, I say you should do it. My creed is that every family member should have some experience with a gun. They don't need to go to a range often or make it a hobby. Yet, knowing how to handle a gun safely and shoot it with a reasonable degree of competency may make the difference in a life or death situation. And that's a good choice of a gun for both experienced and novices. Just, if you can, try the revolver before buying to check if it matches your expectations. Due the lack of models available, maybe it doesn't and another (unfortunately more complex) solution could be getting into handloading, buy a .357 revolver, if don't own one already, and start handloading tailored to your needs. Tame 115 gr loads for the ladies and more powerful loads to yourself.

    I was pondering this point as well. For the rifling in the barrel to work well, the bullet diameter has to just barely have some friction with the grooves. Far too much friction would lead to Really Bad Things(tm) happening. "Barely too much?" Maybe not Really Bad Things (tm), but certainly could be poor performance. In hypothesis, at least. I think I'll stick with using ammunition in the designated caliber for any gun I'm going to use. I don't feel need to test that hypothesis.
