I was looking at a thread a member had posted asking about longevity of his model 27 with magnum loads and it reminded me of a posting on another forum.

Seems a member had found and purchased a model 38-44 that at some time the cylinder had been reamed for it to accept magnums. Some people, myself included, cautioned the new owner about shooting magnums because of heat treating and metallurgy issues.

Other said the sheer size of the cylinder and frame should be more then adequate to handle magnum loads.

What's your thoughts????

Shoot just realized this should be in the hand ejector section. Sorry
