Mr88 and +p and +p+

How much can this wheel gun handle it seems like it’s built like a .357 but it’s not labeled for +p or anything?

Based on the amount of steel the MR 88 is built from, I’d say you’d be fine with .38 special +P.

Today's +P loads are no big deal. If a K-frame S&W, or for heaven's sake an 856 Taurus, will handle +P that gun will not even notice them.

YMMV,

I thought the MR88 was just a French Fried Ruger Service Six.
Which we got in .357 Magnum.

Metallurgy has everything to do with a handgun's ability to handle pressures and not necessarily thickness of the cylinder or chamber as in the case of pistols. Of course, both are variables. In recent years some J frame models have been and are chambered for .357 Magnum ammo. I'm not disagreeing with others' comments but am making this point.

I'd guess that @Outpost75 can give us a good idea on this.

I would see no issues with .38 Sol. +P or +P+ to 23,500 psi.
