I have not had any feed issues with .357 Brass, I use 158 grain cast built to factory length, a slightly shorter magazine spring and a stainless follower I machined for myself. The internals are extensively polished with a few tweaks for good measure.
A bit more than I have time or ability for! to be fair I've only tried geco 158gr HP ammo in .357 which seems to be too long, I'll try some cast in .38 and .357 cases and see how I go, thanks for your input
