Before there was an internet I bought a brand new S&W Model 19 with 6" barrel and nickel plated. It cost me about $319 including tax. Factory ammo was way too expensive at around $25 per box so I bought a reloading press, powder, dies, and a box of Hornady 125 grain JHP's. I bought one box of factory ammo to get the brass. I proceeded to make thousands of reloads using the maximum charge of either Hercules 2400 or W296. I could clear out an indoor range with six rounds. Huge fireball and report.
I never had any problem with flame cutting the top strap. I think that is a BS story that has made the rounds ever since the internet was invented.
