Shooting .38s feels like shooting a K-22. .357s felt like .38s out of a K-frame.

One of the factory cases (Remington range ammo) split during the rangr trip:

I can’t remember the last time I had a non-reloaded case rupture. It was part if the load I bought when Wally-Woild got out of the ammunition business.
Remington brass is softer and I've found it prone to splitting also. Prefer Federal brass or Starline when I can find it. Remington doesn't have the longevity of Federal or Starline.
The Blue Forum gurus say that the gun is circa 1973.
Stephanie,
No wonder I got a nostalgic twinge with every picture you post of you M28-2. When I started the academy in August of '73 the Sheriff's Department required us to purchase our own handguns (revolver in those days). After trying to get them to approve a 5" M27-2 (I was a Skeeter Skelton fan) then a 3.5" M27-2 (who wouldn't try) I ended up buying a brand new, in the box 4 inch M28-2...shipped in 1973...to meet their 4" DA 38 Spl/357 Mag requirement.

UPDATE: Every so often, maybe 2% of the time, the gun would lock up, mid-cycle. Opening the cylinder would clear the malfunction. It wasn't repeatable on any once chamber. I took it to an old gunsmith, who said that there was a small issue with the bolt and when it froze, everything froze. He fixed that and the timing issue. More better.
I ordered a set of Ahrends Retro Combat grips for it.
