In my S&W 65 most .357 loads are more accurate than .38. Even the most accurate .38 ammo I've tried is barely better than the least accurate .357. I may find a brand and load of .38 that works great but so far, while cheap, fun and reasonably accurate, it doesn't nearly match a .357 in the gun. As a result I will soon be getting another dedicated .38 (in addition to a snub I'll be getting a S&W Model 10 or I'll replace my Taurus 82 soon).
