I got a nice 629-4 Mountain Gun last week, a pre-mortem inheritance from my dad.
I had a Redhawk 4.6” for a while and have a Win94 in 44M, so I’ve got a bunch of ammo loaded up with 20.2gr AA#9 under MBC 240gr Keith pills. These clocked just north of 1300fps in my Redhawk.
Is this too much to run in the 629-4?
Has anyone had any luck with Longshot under 240’s for a more economic “working load” around 1050-1100fps? That’s what I’m probably gonna shoot for once I clear up some brass from the stockpile of the above mentioned ammo.
Has anyone had good luck with the 300gr WFN pills from MBC (especially with either of those two powders: #9 and LS)? Would 1000fps be too much to expect in a 4” S&W for a 300gr pill?
