i have a model 15 357 magnum.this may be a stupid question but i usually shoot 38s in it and wonder should i clean the cylinder before i put 357s back through it or does it matter.

You might run into the 357 casings being a little hard to remove because of the residue left by the shorter 38spl rounds, I do depending on the 38 loads, which can be a little annoying.  Don't force the ejector to try and get these out, use a small diameter wood dowel or such and hold the gun firmly at the cylinder to help remove stuck 357 casings (UNLOAD unfired rounds first!).  Cleaning definitely helps with this.
