[QUOTE="poopgiggle, post: 1371694, member: 6406"] That is interesting and I'd like to see the source. They may be talking about .38-44, which was 38 Special loaded hot and designed to fire from big-framed 38s that could handle it. 357 Magnum ended up doing the same thing, but did it better (one reason was that you couldn't fit .357 magnum cartridges into a .38 like you could with .38-44). The guys at OPS told me "you're fine as long as you don't go plinkin' with it," but I wanted to get some more opinions. Also I wasn't sure if they meant "a few rounds won't hurt anything," or "your gun won't blow up if you shoot in a SD situation, but it will do bad things to the gun." The Treasury Load was a 110gr +P+ load. I'm already apprehensive about +P :) If I go the standard-pressure-heavy-bullet route, I'll probably pick [url=http://www.buffalobore.com/index.php?l=product_detail&p=110]these[/url] up. [/QUOTE]
