I'm looking at going in the other direction... How does a bullet like the the Lyman 356402 do in .38 Spl?

As long as it is sized appropriately, it should shoot fine. I have the Accurate copy of that mold and have given some to a friend for 38 Special loads. Mine drops .360 and 125 grains. I would refrain from loading them hot as they have no provision for a roll crimp and recoil setback might be an issue.
No crimp groove, no problem. Use a 38/357 taper crimp die. I know RCBS offers one, cause I have one just for that purpose.
