I have the exact same heavy barreled gun. I don't have a scope on mine.

You can still get parts from DW. I just ordered new barrel lock nuts and wrenches for mine.

You can shoot 357 Super mag (1.610 case length) or 357 Maximum (1.605 case length).

I use 357 maximums out of mine as I shoot a ruger 357 max also. This keeps commonality of ammo going.

Fun gun to shoot. Keep your barrel gap tight or it will spit a bit.

Stay away from ball powders and light bullets because that combination is what causes the frame cutting.

My gun likes 180s and heavier. Very accurate and easy to shoot. Light loads like 357 magnum levels make the brass stick in mine a bit. Keep it hot and you will have no problems.

Email me if you want more information. I have a whole directory of saved webpages from the 357 maximum and have been accumulating loading information for mine for years.
