Warning: the following statement contains information that is contrary to the standard of reloading practices proscribed in reputable reloading books and neither the author nor TFL assumes any responsibility for utilizing it.

I have a first year SSM (s/n is in the 400 range)and I can say that in the Ruger you can start at book max 32 H&R loads and work up from there if you want. SAAMI spec is ~20k psi for the round; the Ruger will safely do 35k. You can get some kick when you load a 115 gr. cast up to and over 1100fps.

You can literally load from 32 S&W fart rounds to 9mm levels of power in that little platform. They can be a reloaders dream: lots of tinkering...easy on powder. They can also be a source of frustration....bullets can be an issue at times like this...cast is your friend. Plated isn't often available. Enjoy the new toy!
