When I was teaching NRA basic pistol almost 20 years ago, I purchased a Taurus 357 revolver brand new (7-shot) which of course I used with dummy rounds for class, and 38 special loads for range:
Since I built the 358Win Mauser rifle and have 358 cast bullets, I figured it would be cool to try some of these bullets in the revolver. I recently ran into this thread where the forcing cone was shown before and after:

So I decided to take some photos of mine:
WOW.
So yes, I will be needing to "clean that up" before I start with cash bullets
The cyl throats are also too small, so I got from ebay a brand new .359" reamer and a .3594" reamer for about $10-15 each (not bad!), so I will be doing that as well.
Tips/advice on both (forcing cone) and reaming the cylinder?
