D dkochan New member Nov 19, 2001 #1 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?

N neal bloom New member Nov 19, 2001 #2 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.

D dkochan New member Nov 19, 2001 #4 Thanks for the information. My gun does not have any markings for 125 grain bullets.
