From all reports, they'll shoot about the same in a mag or a max since the 357 barrels have such long throats, long enough that when they're maxed, they don't need to be throated. :-\

 Mine 38's and 357's as good or better after reaming, Don't ask why, I don't know.
 The 357 Max is a great round. Just my .02 cents.

In my 357, the mags and 38s still shoot accurately, but the poi is WAY different than when shooting max cases.  I don't know if it was done poorly or what.   I just finally decided to shoot everything out of a max case.  Light or heavy, everything goes in the same case.  Works fine now.

Mine doesn't shoot 38's worth a dang mite as well use a shotgun, 357 mag's shoot O.K., but the 357 Max's make me proud. Need to get it out soon and play with it.

Mine would shoot .38, .357 and MAX all great. The 38 and .357 would group lower than the max vertically, but still on target horizontally.
