How much abuse can a Model 66 frame take? I've read that you can crack or damage a frame for having too hot of a load.
Years ago, my pet load used AA9 and my revolver had a hell of a recoil with flames that would come out of the barrel. The primers were fine though. At worse, maybe a small sign of flattening ( it's been awhile). Because of the loud blast and recoil I never followed up on shooting more with AA9 for fear of damaging the frame. I actually don't shoot that much and probably have 500-800 rounds through the handgun.
How strong is the Model 66 frame?
I'm using Blue Dot now and like it. In the future I might try 2400
