Noticed you were running 125 grain 357 magnum rounds through your 66 no dash.

Just in case you might not be aware, the lighter-weight 357 bullets are discouraged in the K-frame 357 magnum guns due to the possibility of cracking the forcing cone, which has an almost indiscernible flat machined onto the bottom of the cone for proper fitting.

You're probably already familiar with this, as it's well publicized, and some folks even question whether cracks in forcing cones on K frames are as much of a problem (or potential problem) as the word-of-mouth would suggest.

Nevertheless, just thought I'd mention it in case you or anyone else reading this who wasn't familiar with it can benefit.

I love shooting my 66-2 4" barrel too! I stick with 158 grain 357 rounds and a balance of 38 Special, all factory stock, but I'm not a reloader. Nice shooting area you have set up there!
