[QUOTE=scooter123;135868379]It's hard to predict if they will crack the barrel. I've read posts by some who have claimed that they had cracked the forcing cone with less that one full box of the Super Vel ammo back in the 70's. Now, on a positive note, I strongly doubt that your WWB is loaded anywhere near the power levels of that old Super Vel. One thing to try is looking for the ballistic data for that WWB, if the muzzle energy is 500 ft.lbs. or less it's likely to be harmless. Same thing in regards to that Remington JSP.

However, if you want to be 100% safe, regard that particular lot of ammo in your posession as a reason to purchase a 686 or 627. Come on, admit it, you really do need another 357 Magnum, one just isn't enough.

I agree with scooter123. Buy an L or N frame. Buying a new gun because you already have ammo is certainly a justifiable reason. I have bought guns using poorer excuses than that!
