Hi, I just noticed on the barell of my 44 spl, mod 396 S&W Air lite Ti Mountain Lite, says "max bullet 200 grain.

Today I bought a box of 44 spl 246 gr winchester ammo.
Would it hurt to shoot 1 box of 50 through this pistol?
Thanks for your help with this.

  I would assume that the folks at S&W tested this gun with various types of ammo, & measured chamber pressure with them. I would also assume that they believe that this particular load could either be dangerous to the shooter, or could cause damage to the gun. Therefore, I would not shoot even 1 round of this ammo in this gun, ever.
  
  Why take a chance?

  Thanks, I thought I was asking a stupid question as I was
  typing it.
  I won`t shoot any other than what it is called for.
