Thanks Mojo.

Odd, my computer doesn't like the link, but my phone has no issues... if you can't see it, this is what it says in a nutshell:

Remington has determined that one specific lot code of the 100 round box of 38 SPECIAL+P 125 GRAIN SEMI-JACKETED HOLLOW POINT (L38S2B) ammunition, may contain 357 Magnum ammunition. This packaging mix is specific to lot number: P24UA18R only.

Just curious. What .38 Special only firearms would successfully chamber .357 cartridges?

IOW, are any .38s bored in such a manner than .357s would insert fully?

If just one chamber on one gun allowed a .357 Magnum round to chamber it would be too many. I think Remington is trying to avoid trouble. Also some older .38 Special handguns would chamber .357 rounds.

Agreed, but those same older handguns would not typically be used with +P.

Course, there's always someone.
