Just as a possible point of interest:
I got out my Freedom 454 and measured the wall at the 12:00 position of the chambers. It's.126" That a 5 shot cylinder.
I know the Ruger SRK is a 6 shot and I think the walls of that gun are even thinner, but maybe one of those reading along has one? If so, can you measure the thickness of the walls between the chambers and tell us all?
Interesting info, szihn.
I don't have the Ruger or know about the dimensions, but the Carpenter metal company lists the alloys used. I didn't know that the barrel material was upgraded, as well as the cylinder.
