Mine is at 3 1/2 pounds single action

What is your single action trigger pull weight? Mine is still at factory weight.

I gun hunt from the same stands that I bow hunt from, so that shouldnt be too difficult to keep most of my shots short, <50 yards for the most part.

Its open to everyone.

3-4 with open sites is great! Eyesight change sux doesnt it?

Im getting 3-4 at 25, and at 50 Im all over the place.

Just curious, what accuracy are you all getting out of a 629 at 50 yards? I have a leupold 2x, and its kind of tough out at 50.

My go to is my 1187 12ga (shotgun, muzzleloader, handgun, and bow area only). Ill probably bring the .44 with me along with the 12ga for the further shots. I wish I could shoot this thing good...

Ive been practicing and practicing, and I have come to the conclusion that no deer are in danger this season. lol This is going to be a work in progress.

At 25 yards, Im OK, but at 50 Im all...

I am really jealous. Primers and powder are going through the roof here in NY. I cant wait to retire and move out of the tax-me-state. Its actually cheaper to buy a 5K brick on line with the...

My local gun store wants $70 for Winchester small pistol primers!! According to them the price is only going to continue to rise.

I just paid $60 for a brick (1000) of .22 rimfire.

I'm starting to run low on small pistol primers and am dreading going to my local GS to resupply. What are you all paying for a 1000 primer pack? I just want to know if I'm really being taken...

RRomeo:

I put a leo 2X on my 629. Its OK, but I wish it had more magnification for range play. IMHO

Thank you everybody for all the information. Its wonderful to belong to a forum where people are actually helpful instead of condescending to a newb.

What i need to do is get to the range and...

I had read on another forum that if I kept the velocity around 900, they should be ok, but by then ill be out of them and we'll into my growing pile of 429421's.

I loaded up some 240 gr SWC/HP I have sitting around over 9 gr of Unique just to get out for a while. The recoil is between a full mag and some specials I had. Not bad at all. I do need to practice...

Ive killed deer using mechanical broadheads that failed to open. Had they opened, it would have been quicker and better. I just want to use the most efficient bullet I can from my 44.

Thank you everyone.

Well I now have a Lyman 429421 SWC 245g 2 cavity mold. I'll be casting some up later.

In the mean time, I'd like to continue to hear of what others found to work with this...

How are the lee molds? The SWC almost look like round nose, are they any good for deer? If I get a mold that is designed for a gas check and dont use it, will it matter if I keep the load...

I have plenty of supplies so thats not a problem. What I need to find is the bullet style it self, then get a mold. Heck, I even have plenty of lead.

Thank you for the suggestions. Ill look...

Hi all,

Ive been reading thru many posts, and am suffering from information overload.

Im looking to hunt deer with my 6 inch 629 this fall, and Id like to use some home made cast for that. I...

I did find an article that stated that they were lubed, but they seemed pretty dry when I handled them.

I didnt load them hot - 800 fps (book) maybe, but I was just worried that I would have a...

I just loaded some Territory Bullets- lead flat nose by Speer in 38 caliber, but I didnt apply any lube.

I have a supply of lubed bullets ready to go, but I grabbed these and loaded them...

What is your favorite 357 Whitetail load out of a rifle? Id like to hunt deer with my 1894C this year and am looking for some experianced load suggestions. What have been your experiances, both...

Ouch!!

New Guy Here,

Hi all,

Im looking to cast and go hunting whitetails with my Win 94 30-30. I need a really good mold for a nice quick kill.

This will be in a tube mag, so options are...
