Light bullets in the 340 PD
On the side of the 340 PD it says that nothing less than 120 grain bullets be used.
I understand that warning is because the lightweight design causes the bullets to be to be pulled from the recoil.
Is that warning for 38 special, 38+P or just 357 magnum?

I suspect the restriction is for .357, but a call to customer service should tell you for certain.

On page 12 of the Owner's Manual is a CAUTION which says it is for magnum ammo...

Pretty sure it causes the front of the cylinder to be burned, and eroded.

Please be advised that I did incur "crimp-jump" with 110gr .38 +P loads in my original 360Sc, also with a titanium cylinder. I know it's not supposed to do that, but...

Page 12 in the manual link from my post above also references this phenomenon.
