Ive never shot specials in magnum cylinders much before.
Know you can but, how well does a .480 Ruger really shoot in a .475 Linebaugh?
I realize all revolvers are different etc. but in general what experience have those with more than me had?
Inquiring minds….

I can't speak of the .480/.475, but I shoot heavy .45 Colt loads in my .454 BFR. Needless to say, it shoots outstanding.

Every revolver is different. Only way to know is give it a try.

Anyone who is deep seating bullets is basically doing the same thing. You just need to clean your cylinder a little more often because of the carbon build up at the beginning of the throat. Probably the most used caliber is 38 specials in 357 magnums, I think all of us do that, I know I've shot many, many thousands of 38 specials in my 357's & most times accuracy is great, but as mentioned every gun is different, just like every load is different, you have to give it a test drive to see.
I know I shot over 150,000 40's through one of my 610 revolvers in competition, perhaps as many as 200,000 or more, don't recall but the gun shot great, I just had to keep that cylinder clean.

Bet Sixshot will never get a negative test result for a gun shot residue test. Ever.
