The LCR is excellent, but no way you will want to shoot .357 Magnum from a light little gun like that. Load it up with Buffalo Bore 150 grain, hard cast, short barrel formulated, full meplat, full wadcutters: Link

This round doesn't depend on expansion to do damage, but rather the sharp-edged, flat-front, full-wadcutter, destructively driving in deep. It's all I'd carry in a snubby .38 Special.
