The security six will handle just about any load you can feed it. I presently load a 158 HP with 6 grains of Red Dot powder and am getting velocities around 1250 fps. No problem what so ever! Mine is also a 6" barrel in stainless.

there a good gun. I would closely inspect the forcing cone if i was buying one used. They were notoriously soft and if the gun was shot alot with mag loads it could be wore.

I have a 4" blued security Six that I purchased new in 1976. After 6000+ rounds, most of which were full magnum loads, it's still in great condition.

I am still trying to wear out my fist Security six(1976, 4 inch) and the way it is holding up it may outlive me.      Doug

I've had a 6" Security Six for about 15 years now.  I shoot the "old" 357 loads in it. It shows no sign of wear.  Quite accurate. My favorite load is a Winchester 125 gr HP at 1690 fps.  A soft cast 358156 (166 gr fully dressed) at 1425 fps ain't to shabby either.
