A friend of mine who owns a S&W .357 magnum said she was told by 2 different people to limit the amount of .38 that she shoots in it. I don't claim to know a lot, but in all my years I have NEVER heard from a credible source that shooting too much .38 can be bad for a .357.

One was a police officer friend of hers, the other was at the shop she bought the gun.

Other than a gun shop/range wanting to sell more .357 ammo, is there any science to why shooting .38 out of a .357 can be bad for the gun?

I guess since I consider it important to clean my guns and keep them in good working condition, I didn't even think that the crud buildup might be the issue. Hmmm

Thanks everyone. I'll pass the info along. It's good to know if I ever get a 357 myself.
