Mouse poots, barn burners, max hot loads from a long time ago, every style of bullet, both factory and reloaded.

Not only did I give out before the gun did. The model 10 did not even breath hard.

I was working up toward max on a load with Unique that was a full grain over what is generally recommended nowadays. I got about halfway there and thought that the loads were a little raucous and backed down a couole of tenths of a grain. I'm sure I could have carried right on up if I felt like it was necessary for what I was doing. (I experiment a lot)

The old K frames were well built and plenty strong for their purpose. I've never heard of one just giving out with some kind of major abuse.
