lcs Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 I just had a new S&W Ti cylinder installed in my PC 627 and converted to 9mm with moon capability. I presume the Ti cylinder is capable of 9 Major loads . I intend to shoot minor loads, but what if ? I know, I should have asked before I got the Ti cylinder.

Jaxshooter Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 I would check with whoever did the conversion. They will know what the wall thickness is on the chamber after the conversion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a great answer. I will and thanks. I was focused on Ti cylinder versus 357 stock cylinder. Edited May 3, 2013 by lcs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pau605177 Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Just curious, who did the conversion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

granderojo Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 The cylinder is from a model 327(a light weight version of the stainless 627) that is made to shoot .357 magunum loads. Check the published pressures of .357 loads to those pressures w/9 major. 9 major is not permitted in USPSA except for Open division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did check with the smith who did the conversion--9 major can be shot in the Ti cylinder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it there used to be a COL requirement for Major in Revo. ? I don't see it now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long time ago, to make major your brass had to be stamped 357 Magnum. Now it is just 19mm case length or longer.

granderojo Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 My mistake. All but Prod(na), Open and Revo have min caliber for major-.40. I never checked for Revo. Good RO test question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were people trying to cut 357mag brass down for faster reloads? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so much faster, but compared to 38 Special brass 357 is a lot more expensive. So lots of guys would cut down 357 brass some 38 Special length and shoot really heavy bullets. Internally most 357 brass is the same as 38 Special. Edited May 16, 2013 by Tom Freeman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
