Which revolver is better for reloading, 38 Special or 357 Magnum?

[ljnowell]

Looks like the general consensus is to get the .357. I will also keep an eye open for certain good used 38 revolvers too.

I got an education on 38/357 revolvers for sure!

Thanks for all the help!

Get yourself a PnR'd m19. Finest 357 S&W ever built.

... PnR'd m19

Learning more ... More notes to self.

pinned barrels and recessed cylinders ... last year 1980?

Thanks!

The best info I received from this thread is from RCMODELER, cordless drill to clean the chambers, Why didn't I think of that I guess I'm not as young as he is!

I have lurked on THR for many years before I started posting and much of what I post is regurgitated posts of much more knowledgeable THR members like rcmodel.

Yep, I've learned a lot if my knowledge here. Like yourself I learned a lot from actually reloading too. Like anything in life experience is as valuable, or more so, than anything else.

The original question is like asking which is better, chicken or turkey?

Only you, your taste buds &/or your shooting likes/dislikes can give a firm answer.
I'm not trying to be difficult, but only by trying can you determine which YOU like more.
What I like is only relevent to me.

Besides, EVERY revolver fan should have atleast one of each

Wrong answer, the only right answer is a M19 S&W. Now, apologize to the Gods of Smith and Wesson.

I'd buy a new S&W 66 A nice lightweight 4" 357.
Light as most 38's, and not too shabby with 357 loads.
I love my K frames!
