So, i have shot .38 in a .357 and .44 special in a .44 Mag.
and all the .22's - CB, short Long and Long rifle, in my old marlin 22.
and i know there is a number of rounds i can shoot in a .327 fed.
BUT
My buddy insists that shooting the shorter cartridges will ruin the gun... it has been some heated debates on this.
.
i know I have read about it in the past, but not in the last decade...
anyone have thoughts AND experience on this topic?
It seems the metals have been developed over the years and the likelihood of damages of the less hot cartridges would be less of a factor... but i am a mere Mortal.
I can see the advantages of multi cartridge in one gun, but how bad can it get and how fast?
I now have a .327 ruger GP100 with a 6" barrel and love it, and thinking about getting a lever carbine in same caliber....
but this question keeps gnawing at me...
Thanks in advance
