Why? Maybe you don't have any .357 brass.Why? That's why the make .357

The old logic
I keep two speed loaders in my bedside table with my model 60 loaded for the same .38 special +p load that the speed loaders in my wife's table for her custom 637 are loaded for. They can interchange in emergency.
Because while every apple is a fruit, not every fruit is an apple. Every 357 magnum shoots a .38 but no 38 shoots a 357 magnum.Why? That's why the make .357

No, not really. . .
Cops carried 38 revolvers for most of the 1900’s and until the late 70’s early 80’s did so with plain Jane non plus p with LRN, Ball and SWC and gave a lot of bad guys dirt naps so maybe we worry about the wrong things!
On the other side I will give you 38 Plus Onis a whole different round out of a 4” barrel compared to a 1 7/8th inch snub it doesn’t get the velocity to do what it does out of a snub but somewhere between 3 and 4” barrel it does.
Yet people live to stuff plus p in snubs with lightweight allow frame and then complain about its not easy to shoot them scoff when you suggest wadcutters in snubby guns
All about the marketing!!!
