I think too many are wrong about the extra freebore or bullet jump effecting accuracy shooting a 38 in a 357 revolver. If that were the case K frame S&W 22's would be the most inaccurate revolver made. There are few 22 revolvers made where the cylinder is the length of the cartridge.
I think the inaccuracy of 38s shot from a 357 is pretty much an invention of gun writers. They're "experts" so they have to come up with something profound. One 38 load might shoot poorly compared to a 357 and another 38 load might shoot better.
I just think in practical terms too much is made of this issue.
