With a pistol chambered in .357/.41/.44 magnums, the gun was designed to handle that stress. With the .44mag, you can shoot loads as soft as you like, or go all the way up to deep penetrating 300gr loads at velocties between 1000fts-1200fps.
To the original poster, excellent work on that wheel gun. :)
