". Actual .357 ballistics can be achieved in .38 Special cases."
Is that where .38+P lies?
Nope. 357 is much faster than (current) 38 Special +P.

I think the confusion today over where the .38+p level is, is because a lot of the .357 loads today are not as hot at the original 1935 loads, and actually overlap hot .38+p levels.
What were the ballistics of the 1935 357 magnum loads compared to today's 357 ammo? Thanks.
I've seen published speeds of 158s at 1510 fps and Elmer reported 1518 fps in this 1935 article from 8 3/4" barrels, but I have not seen the 1550 fps of which you mention. Do you have a source for that?
I’ve been handloading since 1984. In the process of working on this right now as a matter of fact. Starline states not for use in .38sp. I have about 5000 cases on hand so I’m going to just make my own.A fix to your statement, reload. Starline Brass make cases
