As usaual the question I asked wasn't detailed enough to get the answer to the question I thought I asked .

I know that if I put 11.0 grs of H110 in a 38 case and seat the bullet at the minimum OAL it'll blow up in my 1946 S&W ruin the gun and send me to the ER . And its not going to do any thing good for my stainless 357 Ruger .

If loaded to a max OAL for 357 would it be effectivly a 357 or is it an over loaded 38 .
