Guide on how to patch the weapon to take .357 instead of .38
It seems like the dev won't patch the gun to take .357, so here's your obligatory late guide.

TL;DR - Go into the mod's scripts folder, open "PFO357MagnumRevolver.txt", and replace AmmoBox and AmmoType with a .357 ammo type of your choice for both variants of the weapon. To revert changes, just unsubscribe and resubscribe to the mod.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 1 - Have a mod that adds .357 as an ammo type. Shouldn't matter which one, but do note that my steps may very from what you have to do.

Step 2 - Open up your file explorer and find the mod that adds in .357. I'll be using "Gunrunners Weapon Pack - VFE Expansion" for this guide, so I find folder "2873405334".

Step 3 - Navigate to the mod's scripts folder and find a .txt file that (probably) either says items or weapons. Open it up with your notepad of choice, hit ctrl + f, and search for 357, .357 or anything you think will help you locate it. Keep this tab open or copy the "AmmoBox" and "AmmoType" to your clipboard.
- Pers. Note - With GWP, I opened up "GWP_Weapons.txt" and searched "python" and scrolled down to ammo data. I copied "GWP.357Bullets & "GWP.357Box"

Step 4 - Go to this mod's folder, open up scripts, and the open "PFO357MagnumRevolver.txt".

Step 5 - Locate "AmmoBox" and "AmmoType" again and replace the ammo with what you copied. Make sure to save changes once you're done!
- Pers. Note - In this mod's scripts, AmmoBox and AmmoType are a little away from each other.
Just scroll down and you'll see AmmoType. Using GWP, my ammo looked like "AmmoBox = GWP.357Box," and "AmmoType = GWP.357Bullets,"

Step 6 - Make sure you save changes and open your game. If they didn't apply, try changing "PFO357MagnumRevolver.txt" to be read only and/or make sure you edited both revolver variants. If it still doesn't work then err... Sorry for the time waste bro. Try again?
