I have virtually no experience with revolvers, but am thinking about branching out with a Ruger sp101. I know that lighter bullets are less punishing to shoot in a short barrelled .357, but have read that they cause accellerated wear of the forcing cone. What bullet weights would you guys recommend for the sp101? I wouldn't run thousands of rounds a month or anything, but I would want to shoot some for fun, not strictly protection of life and limb!

Thanks for the info guys. I would want to use it for a secondary carry piece (for times when the 1911 Gov't is just a little too big), and I would like to find a manageable magnum loading for defensive use. As such, it seems like it would be a good idea to run magnums through it on a fairly regular basis to keep in practice with the carry ammo.
