OK heres the scoop on teh "light load" i mentioned before. The original website is gone but i have a printed copy of it my papers. The revolver was a Colt king cobra .357 magnum. the ammo was ultramax 158 Gr JHP (that right there should tell you what you need to know). The issue was when the gun was fired it acted as a "hangfire" for about half a second (according to the shooter) and when it fired it blew the top strap off and split the cylinder. There was a lawsuit between the gun manufacturer and ultramax as to who was to fault. Eventually they came to the light load theory and tyhe powder burning from front to back. Ultramax was found at fault. I personally have had a KB from ultramax ammo and i wont touch it with a ten foot pole.
