Saw DRM50 mention Herters so I drug mine out of the safe.

At a gun auction about 5 years ago saw it setting with about 50 other single actions, My first thought was a Black Hawk, but something didn't look right, picked it up and and thought I should try for it. No one bid on it so I got it cheap.
Smith & Wesson 629-2, carried many miles here in grizzly, wolf, and mountain lion country. It shoots the RCBS 245 gr and Lyman 429421 boolits.
Only own a couple right now....
Picked up my first 44mag yesterday, a Smith &Wesson M69 4.25in. Loaded up 100 ladder loads with Universal and IMR4227 (the old stuff in the metal can) using 240gr LSWC. It preferred both loads near or at max charge. Lots more load development to do.
This was the best group at 15yds free hand, load was 24gr IMR4227.
I shot a mod 69 today it s a sweet shooting 44.

Paper targets aren't your friends. They won't lie for you and they don't care if your feelings get hurt.
