Default NOT A GOOD IDEA

I wouldn't shoot a 357 thru either a revolver or tube fed rifle if the bullet hadn't been crimped at the case mouth. Not sure about a heavy taper crimp. Maybe that would work, but test carefully.

Guaranteed without a crimp, the unfired bullets remaining in your rev chambers will move forward, possibly tying up the cylinder rotation. In a tube fed rifle, the recoil will dangerously push the bullets down into the cases of the remaining cartridges in the tube, creating extremely high pressure!
