The 6 K-38 became the 4 .38 Combat Masterpiece which then became the .357 Combat Magnum from S&W in 1955.
Elmer Keith was instrumental along with Phil Sharpe in laying the groundwork for the .357 Magnum by using heavy loads in the .38/44 Heavy Duty, an N-Framed .38 Special which arrived in 1930. Keith tested a .357 Magnum in 1935, however, he did not particularly care for the long barrel nor the fact his #358429 bullet was too long for use in .357 Magnum brass in the relatively short cylinder of the S&W .357 Magnum. His solution was to use .38 Special brass and his bullet over 13.5 grains #2400. Over the years I do believe I have shot this load in .357 Magnum double and single action sixguns more than any other. It’s a very warm load and clocks out at 1,430 fps in one of my 83/8″ .357 Magnums.
