also forget to mention the use of 1000 and 1000 and 1000 of 38 super in 27 and the new 627 in IPSC revolver class , doesn't wear the revolver cylinder any more than a solid barrel in an auto. |

I think after enough rounds, there may be some erosion of the front of the chamber by the combustion gases. This rough spot could then collect lead and powder fouling, causing chambering difficulties with the longer .357 cases later on. I've seen .22 Long Rifle chambers in which many .22 Shorts were fired, and there is some real damage there, beyond a mere accumulation of anything. It is definately corroded, eroded, burnt away,worn away or whatever. It was a very old rifle though, so I guess it may also have been caused by corrosive .22 Short ammo of some sort... |

the forcing cone will go a long time before you see any erosion in revolver chamber.

You make some good points silver. As I said, this is a mostly theoretical/educational question for me as I have lots of .357 Mag brass. I just was curious how feasible the concept was... you know, just in case.
It would be a very unwise person who just casually slipped any of my handloads into their guns. I run my loads pretty hot so as to be legal for big game hunting in Utah and Wyoming. I push a 180 gr. Hornady XTP or Nosler Partition out of my 4" barreled 686+ Mountain Gun at 1295 fps so that I can meet the 500 ft/lbs @ 100 yd. legal minimums. My dad once tried one of these rounds in a 4" model 19 he owned. It locked up his cylinder pretty good. He was eventually able to get things worked out, but he never shot anything but factory loads out of that gun after that. He sold that model 19 not long after that incident and got himself a 4" 686+ similar to mine so that he could shoot my handloads. |
What if the hokey pokey really is what it's all about?

none the less the answer is still yes you can load the 38 super hot, just like Keith did when he started with the 44 sp which became the 44 mag. and Casull did with 45 LC before it became the 454, just like Wesson did with the 357 before it became the 357 max. , just like winchester did with the 38 super before it became the 9x23,
