There are 1.25 ounce loads under 8000 psi and 1.125 ounce loads under 7000 psi. The barrels are .042 at their thinnest anywhere, much thicker at the chokes, mint bores. Reloading American E shot. With a number 2 frame, there is more than enough barrel thickness at the chamber and in front of the chamber. You can bet this old gal saw much stiffer stuff than that her entire life. It has probably shot nitro powders its entire life, and probably "high-power" loads most of the time.
