I routinely load 9mm bullets in .38 Special.Depending on powder chosen, the "9mm" bullets either shot slightly worse, the same or slightly better than the .357" bullets.
At one time, I had an extra cylinder for one of my Smith & Wesson Model 16-4's. The 16-4 is .32 H&R Magnum, the extra cylinder was in .32-20 Win. which had been made by Wisner's in Adna, Wash. I think the .32-20 cyl. had started as a .22 LR K frame cylinder. It worked fine. The only thing about it was, apparently Wisner's didn't have a .32-20 Win. reamer, so they created the bottleneck effect by machining several steps. Six times, once for each chamber. It looked weird, but fired cases barely showed evidence of the stepping and resizing removed them completely.has anyone one else used a revolver for a caliber that is was not necessarily built for?
Well, pretty weak 'legend' as I routinely load 9mm bullets in .38 Special ammo (and have in 'light' .357 mag as well) and I have experienced excellent accuracy in both.and I've also read many times the legend that a 9mm bullet rattles down the barrel, spoiling accuracy.
They are Ruger parts. So yeah originally from Ruger.
