Any load remotely appropriate for the .44 Special is certainly safe in the N-frame S&W revolvers, through the years I have shot many rounds in the 1100 fps range with absolutely no issues in my M-624.

One has to remember that this is the same frame that the .44 Magnum is chambered in and has twice and more of the operating PSI of the .44 Special.
Correct, my mistake. I was thinking of the 696, the one based on the L frame.
