I have a Jap made Winchester 1892. Good little rifle and I want to shoot it more in more of a plinking mode. i am thinking of loading some +P or +P+ .38 Special loads in .357 cases in order to avoid feeding issues! I also have a bunch of 'wads" cut from light card stock that I can use over the powder to keep the powder back by the primer and hopefully improve ignition. Any thoughts? Has anyone tried similar? If yes with what results?
Thanks for the help!
 
I’d avoid mixing +P concepts and .357 brass like that. Stick to published light .38 Special or cowboy .357 loads, it is much safer and more consistent and your 1892 will run them fine.
