I have a friend who once owned an early no-dash Model 60 that some worthy had reamed to take .357 ammo. He shot a cylinder full of 125gr. .357s through it before I found out and "suggested" that he shouldn't do it again. He said, "That's fine with me. It kicks too hard, anyway." He was shooting it with factory service stocks, so I'm sure it stung some. It did not blow up, nor even bulge the cylinder. The 60 Bryan posted photos of sustained something worse than a double charge, it appears to me. Factory +P+ typically spikes pressures in the low end of .357 territory, and something more than that was suffered by that sad little gun.
