Notice anything odd here?
Yep, that's a .357 cartridge loaded with .38 Special brass. And no I didn't take it out of the .38 Special box. It came out of the .357 box. And I bet you could load it into a .38 Special revolver and blow it up. I've never been impressed with their ammo but this is ridiculous.
I guess you could argue that it's really just a .38 Special that got put into a .357 box, but it's longer than the .38 Specials and I would assume it's loaded to .357 specs.
I'm not going to contact Remington about getting it replaced or anything. I just not going to buy anymore of their ammo.
Update:
I pulled one of each round:
.357 = 7.3 grains
mystery = 5.9 grains
.38 = 5.6 grains
The mystery round was head stamped .38 +P.
I not sure what that means but the mystery round is no longer around.
