I have handloaded some full wadcutter rounds and shot them in my Charter. They were the most "snappy" loads I have ever fired in that gun. I would not fire very many of those in a Charter. On the older guns like mine the first thing that happens is the aluminum barrel shroud walks off the barrel and the screws start backing out. The bullets did terrible damage to targets though. If you want to practice a lot with a Charter use light loads and carry medium loads. If you can place them where they need to go you'll be fine.
