You will have to do a good job of cleaning to get rid of the fouling should you wish to fire 357 out of it. Other than that, the only real reason is that you will have case head separations happen after a few loadings. Some cases last awhile, some will separate ofter a loading or two. Keep a small flathead screwdriver handy to poke those cases out from the front of the cylinder.

Also, mark the case heads with a red sharpie to designate them as high pressure loads.
