I do shoot heavier bullets in it than recommended, they just need a good crimp to keep from pulling under recoil. The little added weight of the SS cyl no doubt helps a bit as well.

I really disliked the look of the Ti cyl with its funny shaped flutes. And especially the manual warning about not disturbing the finish when cleaning for fear of weakening its strength!
