Joe,
you need to read BB's site. Their loads are within SAAMI spec,
and safe for any and all steel revo's. The +P+ load won't blow a Smith either, but it will wear them fast, and it is generally too long for the cylinder of a S&W.
Because they can reach velocities above what a handloader can with their other .44 magnum loads doesn't mean that their loads are "hot". They have access to, and use powders that aren't available over the counter to handloaders, the same way that Hornady does with their Ultraperformance ammo.
