Is it possible to run jacketed ammo or higher loaded 38spl that is not +p? I've seen people recommend only cowboy loads for the cartridge converted black powder models because of the strength of the frames on those. But since this is made specifically for the 38spl cartridge from the factory cant it shoot modern factory 38spl of any kind as long as it is not +p? Thank You in advance for any info/clarification.

Hi Joshua and welcome. This is correct. Standard 38 Special SAAMI pressure loads are ok. Cheers, stay safe and enjoy!
