Yes. Do you like it ?
Ive been shooting a .22 rifle since I was somewhere around 7 to 9 years old and Im well over 55 years old now. Ive shot more coons, rabbits, coyotes, squirrels, fox, beaver, just to name a few, than you can possibly imagine. When I got a little bigger I started to also hunt with a shotgun and killed countless quail and pheasant, and a few dove. Its always been stamped on the side of the firearm Ive ever owned, what loads they accommodate...aka .22 LR, .22 shorts etc...and I believe most shotguns are stamped with what length of shells they will chamber. However, through the years many people who closely study such issues have found that certain loads in certain firearms are destructive and some actually dangerous, that the general public were not aware of.
It seemed like my question was legitimate in my view. Sometimes there are new weapons manufactured for specific functions, and later on down the road people who study long term wear find out that certain loads cause certain issues. Im sure there are several members on here who can tell us about, how not to shoot certain loads in specific firearms, that werent discovered until months and many times, years later.
My question was based on the fact that on the side of my Ruger LCR it has ".38 SPL. +P" Now it doesnt say that I can shoot +P loads "only" so one can assume that other loads can be used. However, I dont see why it would hurt, since I dont keep up with all the latest mechanical issues of all the different firearms, to ask such a question.
Please except my sincerest apologies for offending the upper educated elite, with my degraded and totally inexcusable question.
Thanks. I just wanted to be safe and make sure I wasnt going to create any long term damage. I couldnt see how it would damage anything, and I figured it wouldnt hurt to ask.
