Just curious. I was checking the rim/extractor contact on my Ruger GP-100 and decided to see if a .38 Super round would fit. Since it is semi-rimmed, I thought I'd give it try so I could see what I was looking for a bit better. Except for being a wee bit tight, the .38 Super rounds slid in nicely and the extractor easily engages the smaller rim.
I know the bullet diameter is slight smaller (.355 vs .357). And the case is a bit bigger in diameter. But otherwise, any reason (ie. pressure, etc) this would not work?
