Was the 357 limited 24in barrel micro-groove or ballared?

The 16" LTD's and the Cowboy Limited's are cut rifling (ballard) to the best of my knowledge.

If you have one just look at business end and see if it has a bunch of grooves ( 8 to 10) then it's Microgroove and 4 to 6 will be Ballard.

Not sure of exact numbers of grooves for each kind in various calibers, but the Mico will really look different.

The 1894 .357CBL is a Ballard groove cut. I have 3 CBLs in 24" and one in 20" and they are all Ballard. Generally the micro groove barrels say that on the barrel. I think my 39A says so on side of barrel. I can't look at it right now because I am away from home, but pretty sure.

That's right I have never seen one that was a Microgroove and not stamped on the barrel.
