I’m happy to shoot wadcutters or standard pressure out of mine.Well I finally got the .38/.357 barrel to the range and shot only 24 rounds because I was more focused on continuing to break in my new 1911. Anyway I shot three different .38 special rounds, 105 (Cavalry), 130 (Winchester White Box), and 158 grain (Norma) and a 158 grain .357 Magnum (Cavalry). As would be expected these were progressively more recoil. The .357s were not terrible, but not something I want to shoot much if anymore. Just like the .45 Colt barrel, I prefer the 180 grain cowboy loads to the 250 grain. Really, I would be inclined to stick with the 105 grain rounds for this gun at least for range fun. This is the 105 grain:

These would not be a bad choice either and I have shot these out of my revolvers:
