How strong is this action in .357? Can it take really hot handloads? How would you compare it to the strength of a Ruger Redhawk .357 or a Blackhawk SA? Thanks.
I've loaded up some pretty stiff rounds for mine and the rifle seems to do just fine, but I've never really pushed the envelope. I get to a max load and then check everything out carefully before ever so slowly creeping just above that. If anything shows sign of a problem, I back down and don't try it again.
