I do not have any .38 special cases. I do not really want to shoot lead or coated .38 Specials in my .357 mag chamber. So, I was thinking when crimping some loads today. What if I loaded the .38 Special loads in the .357 case and then seated the bullet 0.10 inches deeper? In other words to the .38 special OAL. I taper crimp these loads and the crimp would be on the little band in front of the crimp channel. HiTek coated semi wadcutters from Acme. Would these loads not both duplicate the .38 data and keep the chamber from fouling? I do not see a flaw to this approach. If anyone does I would love to hear it.
