    Will 358429 fit in Taurus Model-85?

    I am contemplating the purchase of a Taurus Model 85; will normal crimped 358429 fit in the chamber of this model?
    I have casted untold 1000's of this boolit and use in Ruger GP-100 and S&W Model 27.
    I want a church going gun and have settled on the TM-85.
    Thanks
    When I sit down to look at my rifles in the safe.....
    I can very consistently shoot one inch groups at 100 yards.
    When I sit on the bench at the shooting range.....
    I always wish I was sitting down looking at my rifles in the safe.

    The cylinder is much shorter IIRC. You could likely still use the Keith but will have to crimp above the groove. If a church gun, maybe just some store bought defensive ammo would be more appropriate?

    Keith designed it for the .38 spec. If it's any help, they fit in my Colt Cobra with room to spare. This is the d frame Colt.
