None of the load suggestions I've seen listed above appear to be a threat to revolvers in reasonable condition - including original Colt SAA guns.
8 grains or so of Unique and a 250 grain lead bullet would shoot just like Wyatt Earp's (save for the smoke).

The three tiers are differentiated by ability to handle different pressures. Old peacemakers are weak and T/C or FA are strong.
45 colt ammo that can blow up a handgun fits perfectly into any 45 colt cylinder. I don't know any other caliber like that.
357mag will not fit into a 38 special.
44 mag will not fit into a 44 special.
and both those have the caliber shown on the brass. all three tiers of 45 colt just say 45 colt.
This OP said using a S&W 25-6. I'm guessing that's tier 2.
