I don’t have a 9mm/.38 conversion, but from my revolver reloading experience, I think the biggest issue in accuracy is bullet to throat fit. A .355 bullet in a .358 throat will yaw and hit the forcing cone in unpredictable ways, causing accuracy deterioration. If your throats are tight, this will be less of an issue. You could easily have a .356 9mm bullet (some are this fat, especially cast lead) in a .357 (on the tighter end) and have it shoot fine.
Another owner could just as easily have .359 or .360 (rare, these days) throat and have a .355 bullet be much less accurate.
The worst situation is when your revolver throats are all over the place, like 4 at .357 and 2 at .360. It will never group until you hone out the throats to a consistent diameter. Throats this out of whack were much more common in ‘70s and ‘80s era guns. More recent decades have seen vast improvements in consistency.
I’m glad you have good luck with yours.
