So, in essence if one was to just use, say, a box of 50 once a month for familiarization, there shouldn't be a problem? I'm not familiar with the K-frame and hence, my question. I've had N-frames before without any hesitation on firing mostly 357 loads but, I like the smaller sized K-frame better these days and was curious about the ability of that frame to handle an ongoing amount of full bore 357 loads. Funny how when you get older you don't want large pistols anymore.

Looking at Hornady's manual for the 125 gr bullet, a load of 17.4 gr of H 110 is a starting load and 19.9 gr a max. The velocities run from 1250-1500 but, this is taken from an 8 inch Python. So, If I used 18.5(according to the manual) that would give 1350 fps. However, that figure being taken from the longer barrel, I can only surmise from a 3-4 inch barrel it would be maybe 1250 fps which is the minimum load velocity. That's fast enough for practice and should be enough power to not get into trouble pressure wise.
