Boredom is as good of a reason as any.I don't reload but understand how most of it works.
My question is why would you want to do this other then boredom.
It sounds like you want a really hot 357 - I would think a full size case would be better suited to that.
Let me know what I'm missing…
If necessary, I will use speech to text and let you know either wayIf you still have fingers to type with after doing this experiment be sure and let us know how it turns out.
How does it handle more than 50% higher pressure?The two cases are identical except in length the .357 mag is only lengthened to prevent it being chambered in a .38 spec gun.
That's probably more a function of the chamber construction of the firearm than the actual brass.How does it handle more than 50% higher pressure?

I believe this is correct, but now I am wanting to cut a couple of cases apart and see if the Magnum case does indeed have thicker walls and web.That's probably more a function of the chamber construction of the firearm than the actual brass.
Yes, it does. But the picture also shows some weird bullets, so who knows?
That will make my experiments a lot easier.Honestly, I've been loading .357mag in .38sp cases for over a decade. Zero issues.
Do you use full book loads or down load them a tad?Honestly, I've been loading .357mag in .38sp cases for over a decade. Zero issues.
And what happens when someone accidentally puts one of those higher pressure rounds in a revolver chambered/designed for .38 Special?Do you use full book loads or down load them a tad?
