Title says it all guys would not on a daily basis or anything but occasionally thanks horsemen61
Would you shoot 125 grain jhp through a 586
Yes but the S&W M586 is not the Ruger SP101, the L frame will be just fine even with 110gr bullets.I wouldn't go under 125gr. A couple years ago I shot a box of hot Fiocchi 110gr FMJ-TC Black Mamba out of my Ruger SP101 and that was enought to show some erosion in the forcing cone; my tought was: never again!
The same cartridge was able to totally erode the cylinder front of a S&W 340PD after few shots (however in that case the owner was the problem, not the gun...).
Yes and no,The main problem with the 125gr bullets in the K frame was velocity. The older 125gr ammo was pushing the 125gr bullet to a screaming 1500+ fps and the forcing cone of the K frame was not designed to absorb that type of punishment. The SP101 is a small revolver, the M586 is not.
What does the actual weight of the bullet have to do with the various etching/erosion/cutting issues mentioned here?
