I've shot many thousand full tilt .357 loads in my snub M66 and have never had issues. (I did have to service the M686 once.) For a few years now, I have steered away from the 125 grain bullets--as those loads seemed the chief culprits in the rumors ascribing delicacy to the K-frame. But 140 and 158 grainers over max loads of h110 are accurate and fun range-clearers, not to mention more than adequate pig gitters.

Gotta love that BANG.

I hear good things about the GP, but all my Ruger revolvers are single actions.
