Forcing Cone Cutting Ammo

[one bullet]

Would someone be so kind as to remind me what grain or type ammo can possibly cause forcing cone damage in .357 revolvers. I'm going through some old .357 ammo and don't want to damage my security six. Thanks in advance

I belive it was the hot 125 grain ammo, my understanding is that the problem was more with Smith and Wesson revolvers than Rugers.

Mostly it was/is a problem associated with using hot loads of ball powder along with stubby bullets.

I thought the issue was with .357 bullets weighing less than 125 grain.

Before I started reloading, I was shooting Remington 125gr 357 in my GP100, not one problem. It was the 110gr Winchesters that started some flame cutting in the GP...........................................

So... I have looked and I have about 200 rounds of Black Hills 125 gr., .357. Shoot em up or give em away. I would shoot them in a Security Six or maybe my Speed Six? Not a GP, which is a good bit beefier.

If you are gonna give them away,, I'll take them & run them in a T/C barrel!
