Don't forget about the lighter weight bullet caution/prohibition on these Scandium guns!!!

Some of those Power-balls, Glasser Safety Slugs or any load less that 130 grain should not be fired in a Scandium gun! It will cause flame cutting on the cylinder and damage the firearm!

Plus, the bullets could possibly pull from the case and lock up the gun at best...

The old 145gr Silvertips are very good load.
Stay away from the lighter stuff.
I have seen this happen once or twice with the wrong ammunition.

Right on, Andy, except the cut off weight for .357s in scandium guns is 120 grains.
