Default .38 Special Steel Case ammo
Looking for any advice from experience with Tula brand .38 special in a revolver.
I have used steel cased ammo in 9mm and .40 cal. Was never too concerned if it did damage the chambers because with a semi auto pistol I could just swap out the barrel. I have not seen any degradation in the pistol chambers. So I use it occasionally.
The price is nice for current .38 steel case rounds but I am worried about distorting a revolver cylinder.
I would hate to hurt my revolvers because I "cheaped out" on the ammo.

Larry

Don't do it. There is plenty of brass out there at reasonable prices.
686+ vs 627 Pro

Unless your cylinder is softer than the steel case I can't fathom how it could harm your revolver?
