Ammo for .357 MAG SP101

[dkochan]

I have an early model Ruger SP101 .357 magnum. The serial number is 572-081XX. What type of .357 ammo can I shoot with this gun? Am I limited to 125 grain bullets?

If I remember correctly it should say '125 gr. bullet' on the right side of the barrel if you are limited to 125 grain bullets.

IF it does say 125 grain. Send it back to ruger and they will upgrade it for free with a new frame and cylinder

Thanks for the information. My gun does not have any markings for 125 grain bullets.

Since yours isn't marked 125gr only, any "factory" load will work.
