Meanwhile .357 works just fine in my J frame model 60.

So far I believe I am the only person to answer the question of the OP that no current K frame S&W appear to have re-suffered old style K frames.
I then followed up with, "but why are you loading it, no bullet currently requires that velocity for these reasons, including directly from the largest manufacturer of ammunition that owns nearly all US produced ammo"

74A95, you've continued to move the goal line on why response to "why?" would some load it that hot.
Again, no 357mag in 4" is every getting close to your minimum set 2,000FPS. None. Even uber hot 1,600fps ultra light 357 is 20% away from your defined minimum. The purpose of bringing this up is to help the OP understand that you might wear out or out of time your revolver faster, but the end purpose isn't all that worth it in the end unless that's the goal or you just want to shoot those.

By all means, contact all the ammo makers who load the 357 and tell them to stop loading it so fast because it does not meet your criteria. That's what you're saying. If handloaders shouldn't do it, then either should factories. Last edited by 74A95; February 9, 2024 at 12:52 PM. |

I listed all reason velocity is required in a bullet. I'll do it again.
Velocity affects expansion, trajectory, time in flight, accuracy, and hydrostatic shock. Not a single one of those is important in a 4" revolver given on shelf ammunition velocities. You can keep name calling, but you've only do that and not proven me wrong.
