I used a 10 inch Ruger 357 max for hog hunting and it was awesome. No problems for me.
I have been shooting Lil Gun in a .312 bore contender 32 mag with no problems. I have shot over 2000 rounds using it and the barrel shoots just as good as when I started. Awesome vel and accuracy.

Got a 5 gallon bucket of wheel weights for 10 bucks. So heavy I had to get grandson to take out of pickup bed

Man that goes by Otter made the stock set. The felt recoil is less than my tender 357 max or 41 mag. The grip sure helps. I'm taking it hog hunting at the end of month. 45nut has a stock set from...
