CAC frame
« on: July 07, 2012, 05:28:13 PM »
I just purchased a handi in the 357 max on the barrel and CAC on the frame. Had a contender yrs ago and have lots of loaded ammo for it left, only problem is it is loaded on the top end ( 4227  21 grains fed primer 100 180 gr jtc)will the CAC hold up or do I need a SB2 frame???

The SB1 Maxi works fine with sane 357 Max loads, but you may want to work up from start data if the frame started life as a shotgun frame which has a larger firing pin and hole in the standing breech which will cause problems if primer cups are too thin(SP vs SR),  see 357 Max on SB1 frame in the FAQs.
