[QUOTE="zipty6, post: 3568493, member: 19401"] Until the most recent iterations, the K frame revolvers had a flat spot at the bottom of the forcing cone. There is documented history of extensive firing of high-velocity 357 ammo causing a crack at that location. This is one of the reasons that the L frame was developed. Stick with 158 grain and heavier and you will be fine. 38 and 38+P are fine, regardless of bullet weight. A web search will give you many examples. The Revolverguy blog has a pretty good write-up here: [URL='https://revolverguy.com/the-smith-wesson-l-frame-story/']The Smith & Wesson L-Frame Story[/URL] [/QUOTE]
