Well, this is interesting. I just went and read the Handloading article from August 2005 and Pearce specifically lists the S&W 696 and 396 as being among the revolvers suitable for 25kpsi loads.
Page 40-41: "The third category (25,000 psi) includes Smith & Wesson...Model 696 and 396 Titanium"
Darn. Guess we will have to wait another 12 years to get a long term verdict on the GP100...
