Question About Shooting 38sp In A 357

Understanding the way this is supposed to work, I have some concerns and one question.

First, the barrel on the new 92 says, "357 only."

Second, the owner of the shop where I work says no problem shooting 38sp.

Third, I have shot 100 rounds or so of Winchester 38sp ammo through the 92, however the rifle does not chamber every round smoothly at all.

Fourth, I don't want to shoot 38s IF there is a possibility of damaging the 92 in any fashion, or, of voiding the warranty.

Question. What say ye?? Thank you :D

There should be no problems using a 38spl in a 357mag gun. You dont mention if the 92 is a rossi, the action on some clones are picky about feeding..especially some of the flat top lead. The cowboy action shooters in your area will help you smooth your action.

I see in another post it s a miroku. That is a quality gun and shouldnt need much refinement. The FT ammo is always gonna be a problem for finicky guns no matter who made it. Congrats on a fine rifle
