Anyone here ever play around with this?
Cut down .38 spl to long or short colt and use it out of something chambered for .357?
Was the free bore too much for it?
Whats the heaviest gr weight head used?
Books are all locked up in the Pod and wikipedia helps with case dimensions but thats it.
I'll rifle through SAMMI spec later
I've seen .38 short used in 9mm cylinders, but the cases are almost the same length. Not sure if the cylinders are cut to accommodate, that I'll have to research.
I'm trying to talk myself out of a 929.
I think between the (reamed) cylinder throats and the forcing cone on the 627, it might lose half its oomph at the muzzle.
