Message: <blockquote data-quote="Rod Snell" data-source="post: 2736801" data-attributes="member: 796">If you are referring to the cracked forcing cone problem in the K frames, you have nothing to worry about using unique; you can't get the bullet going fast enough with unique to cause the problem, which is that a light bullet over something like WIN296 will hit the forcing cone fast like a hammer and may crack it.  I don't use my 296 loads in my model 66 at all, saving the full power .357 loads for a 686 L frame.As to using .38 in a .357, my model 66 is my IDPA revolver, and gets fed 158gr Berry over 4.3gr HP38 in .38 cases by the buckets full. When I clean it, any ring of residue in the chamber disappears with a swipe of a Brownells "Tornado" chamber brush (not used on the bore).  No big deal.</blockquote>
