Yep city_boy I've seen the Alliant warning on .357&.41 magnums. Blue dot is temp.sensitive but I've used it since 1988 to equal factory .357 velocity. The 125 .357 is hard on guns&shooters which is why S&W brought out the L frame and Ruger the GP 100. The upside of the 1450fps 125 load is it hits like Thor's hammer. Brazillons of bytes&ink spilled on "is the 9mil enough?" "Can I count on the .380 to save my bacon?" Nobody seems to disagree that the .357 125 stops fights like a bolt of lightning.
