Have decided to put this question here because if there is anything to it, I thought maybe some of our gunsmith members would have had some experince with it, and could comment.

I received the following today in my e-mail:

From Stephen Wenger's daily email ("Stephen P. Wenger" <spwenger@spw-duf.info>

Ultralight Caution: Was speaking with my long distance shooting/ loading partner. He had recently
purchased a M327 nominally used, but looking unfired. He broke in the bbl carefully ( too much time on his hands, but he wanted to), then was testing various loads that showed no pressure signs at all in his M28. After about 300 rds started to FTF (Fail to Fire?). He sent to S&W . He was told the frame was stretched, and needed replacement . He was told they would replace the frame THIS TIME, but didn't want to hear about it again. The S&W rep said there lots of M327's coming back for same thing. Jess thought the rep wanted to say more, but couldn't. The rep then commented that it would be a good thing to speak with Sierra . Jess then called the Sierra Ballistican, and got an earfull. Seems the Sc framed .357s are definately carry a lot, shoot little, barely able to contain new wave 35,000 psi. The Sierra man said he would only personally use .38 level loads in one…

Is this common knowledge, not factual, what?
