My wife enjoys shooting .38 wadcutters out of my .357 Ruger Sec Six.
I'm pretty sure the pressures are OK but is there ant other problems I might encounter while doing that?

Thanks.

Daniel.

  You can be SURE that the pressures are OK.
  
  The only problem that can arise is if you fail to clean the cylinders well. This can be a problem with any .357 mag firing .38 specials, & it is unlikely with stainless steel, but it can happen. Crud & corrosion can form at the case mouths, & this may make it difficult/impossible to chamber the longer .357 shells.

  That's pretty much what I thouhgt...
  It's kinda fun, like shooting a 22 only a lot more expensive.
  She does have a 22 revolver but she likes the Ruger's trigger better (!). I guess because of the high tension springs required for the 22?
  Anyway, I always clean my guns as soon as I get back from the range so I should be OK.
  
  Thanks for the input.
