I recently bought a very nice Ruger Security Six in 357 and have begun thinking about needs/purposes and loads for the gun. What is the general opinion of the frame strength as related to loads? Is the frame capable of handling a steady diet of max H110 loads using 170/180 grain bullets?

I likely won't run a steady diet of max loads but would like to achieve 950-1000 ft/sec for a 160-180 grain lead bullet.

What say the brethren?
