A neighbor lady has a Ruger Blackhawk .357 that I cleaned for her. I noticed that it had magnum wad cutters in it before I started. The barrel had .357 cal stamped onit, but not magnum. I went online and checked the serial number against Ruger's reference page. This revolver turns out to be an "Old Model" .357 (prefix number 30-) and not a "New Model" .357 Mag (prefix numbers 600-).
Is there a danger of her using the Magnum rounds in this gun, instead of standard .357?
