I am thinking about getting one and was wondering if anyone else has played with one? Any results / numbers you could provide would be great! Thanks in advance....Buck:Fire:

I imagine you know this, but revolvers chambered in bottleneck cartridges have always had a reputation for problems. The tendency is for the fired case to set back in the chamber and either tie up the cylinder or at least cause hard rotation. The M-53(?) Smith in .22 Jet was bad this way. The .30-30 has less taper, so maybe it is better, but the .22 K-hornet has very little taper, and I have heard that it caused problems.
