cartridge the length of the 357, 41 or 44 mag would be ok but you would be very limited on what bullets you can use.
In the pics the stainless cylinder is the Super Blackhawk size while the blued cylinder is the mid frame size.

In the pics with the bullet noses showing a standard lightweight bullet in 45 Long Colt the bullet is fairly close to the end of the stainless cylinder while a 250 grain bullet comes almost to the end of the cylinder.

In the mid frame a standard fairly long nose 158 grain bullet in 357 mag comes all the way to the end, so some bullets wouldn't work at all.

So, what would be the top end for a mid frame?
- Bucky, 2020-02-28, 09:07
-
none of the longer cartridges would work,

So 44-40 on a large frame, SB or BH. (nm)
- Sid R, 2020-02-28, 11:47

The 44-40 is fine on the Midframe. Gary is currently...

- Cool, I want one to go with my old Marlin. (nm) - Sid R, 2020-02-28, 13:02

5 or 6 shot? (nm)
- Derek, 2020-02-28, 12:11
- Mine will be a 5-Shot, but a 6-Shot would work too... - Huey, 2020-02-28, 13:21

the length is what the problem is. I would think any

Could the 44 SPCL cylinder& barrel be switched out
- O’Gary, 2020-02-28, 12:33
- extra cylinders are no problem but we don't do - Gary Reeder, 2020-02-28, 14:54

Thanks for clearing that up Gary! (nm)
- Bucky, 2020-02-28, 11:44

Looks like they would be good for a PPP. (nm)
- Derek, 2020-02-28, 11:58
- A 240-255 gr bullet at 1,000 fps should be plenty good (nm) - Derek, 2020-02-28, 19:45
