I recently saw something about this but I can't remember where/which forum.
Have any of you ever loaded 357 magnum loads in 38 Special brass, as Elmer Keith did? If you have, can you please fill me in on the results. I've been thinking about trying this in limited quantities with sorted brass and seeing if there is any noticible shooting/accuracy differences between the same loads using the 2 brass lengths. Will today's 38 brass handle this without damage? I realize this could be very dangerous, in that it would be so much easier for full magnum loads to be loaded and fired through a 38 Special gun. But I still want to know. I'd be loading and then immediately shooting it, without storing it (which is where the trouble would start probably) Thanks much.
