Assuming you are correct why would someone with a 357 Mag revolver be allowed to shoot moonclip 155 PF 38 Special +P ammo and someone with a 38 Special +P revolver not be allowed? Either gun can make the power factor and stay under their SAAMI pressure specification. A model 13 is identical to a Model 10 except the chamber reamer is run 0.135 deeper and the roll marks on barrel. Similar for some GP100 38 Specials +P identical in every way except chamber depth and roll marks.

As I have said before these rules about what is and is not a legal revolver cartridge are really poorly written. Suck it up and use 357 magnums or let me Shoot my 38S&W. tongue.gif
I will, if I have to, but the rules seem to say it is OK to use 38spl cases in .357mag guns and the guns are allowed in the ESR category based upon what is written which, if past history is any indication, likely may not be what they meant.  Not sure why English is such a hard language to deal with in certain parts of the US.    

As to your suggestion though there is no mention of 38 S&W in the RB.  Does anyone make speedloaders for the S&W?  If they do and HQ agreed with you I could get real upset with myself for ever letting my wobbley Webley top break go down the road.  I couldn't hit anything with it but maybe we get style points for throwing the gun at targets.

All the best, I am sure the dust will settle on this version of the RB over time.

Take Care

ps As an aside .38 is larger than ,357Wink
