Hello muddocktor
Yes the full power .357 loads get a heavy crimp.. as heavy as I would want to put on it.
Over the years I have seen a fairly wide variation in performance levels and likes and dis-likes with individual .357 revolvers.. So much so that I would never doubt for a minute how a particular gun performs with a particular load, and, I appreciate hearing about how other guns perform with different loads. Thanks.

Hey Nevada Ed nice hearing from you.
You are absolutely right about shooting max loads. When I go out shooting a revolver I usually reach for a mid-range cast or jacketed load. So much more enjoyable. And thanks for your comments.
