LOL, I got a kick out of that one also.Huh?
Hordes of run and gun match competitors (of all skill levels) shoot .38 Short Colt handloaded ammo in .357 revolvers! (Including me.)

I agree. Terminology is important.You need to get your terminology correct or don't handle firearms.
Or post online.
Great first post for an apparent clown.
Shaking my head…..
The whole bullet as you know is completely inserted in the case. The weight is 147 gr so the overall length is at least 1 1/2 the diameter. that said, a lot of the bullet is still in the case when the nose of the bullet reaches the cylinder face or even the barrel rifling lead. Recently a customer had a wadcutter stuck in the rifling lead thus locking the revolver (cal 38 sp) up. Knocking the bullet back into the case surprised me how far I had to knock it back into the case to free up the cylinder.Now you have to remember that I am a SASS shooter so accuracy isn't my thing.
Speed is life But isn't one of the most accurate 38 rounds a hollow base wadcutter that has to go a long way to the barrel????
"Thinking The Hobby Gunsmith missed the "revolver" detail. Everything has a jump to the rifling in a revolver."
"As posted above, he may have been thinking rifle rather than revolver."
I don't think so. If you read what he wrote, it includes the word "revolver" three times.
Kind of like the Guys that go to all of the trouble to get the Ball flush with the face of the cylinder with cap & ball Rugers. WHYYYYY ?????????Well, so much for coming to the defense. Makes me also go "huh"?
"or don't handle firearms" ???You need to get your terminology correct or don't handle firearms.

No no no, that's not at all what was said.Are you okay with a guy relating his loading practices and recommended loads with no discrimination between powder manufacturer and load data.
Yes you can shoot a 38cal bullet in a 357 gun but you can not shoot a 357 bullet in a 38gun
What fool wrote that?Huh?
