My ol 27-2 re-chambered to 44 Special will except a heavy roll crimped 44 mag cartridge....
But, there is NOT enough clearance between the full chamber diameter to the taper beginning of the throat to allow the roll crimp to open up fully.

If fired it may cause a pressure curve greater than the cartridge case head,
bolt notch cuts and or maybe the cylinder wall(s) can stand....

I've re-chambered a slue of 27 & 28 cylinders and I'm very cautious
as to chamber length....Just cause a loaded 44 mag case fits in the chamber does not mean it will safely fire in it.

Just saying....Be Careful There.
