Long time no talk

[S&W 10mm]

Hey guys, its been awhile but came across a topic that was worth while posting. The .357 maximum is a great gun however its rarer and way more expensive to shoot then say a mag or .38's. My question is are you able to shoot .38's or .357's (magnums) out of the maximum? My concern was the gap in the cylinder causing too much pressure? or something not lining up correctly. Anybody have any help/comments on the matter?

You can shoot .38's and .357's from a .357 Maximum. But it's better to shoot a lower power .357 Maximum. If a cylinder blows from a .38, the cylinder was bad.
