Just like shooting a .38special in a .357 magnum chamber. POI shift but No discernable difference, just don't make a habit out of it.-Rob

That is what I figured, but thought I would ask folks that have actually done it.

I have done it a few times.Same groups and POI at 50 and 100yds.Do not worry if ever you are in doubt.This was out of my Ruger 458 Lott.Just keep your barrel clean in order to have predictable accuracy and POI.
