You can't measure the barrel with a pin gauge. You will need to slug the barrel to get an accurate reading. With 5 groove barrels, you either need a v measuring block or you can wrap a thin piece of shim stock of known thickness around the slug, measure it and then subtract twice the shim's thickness from the result. If your barrel actually IS .3735, then methinks you've got some serious problems.

A .380 boolit in a .38/357 sounds WAY too big to me.

Hence I attempted to delete the thread... I had my head all screwed up.

And I didn't measure the barrel with a pin gauge I measured the slug thanks tho.
