I just ordered a 629 with a 4" barrel. I am wanting to plink for fun and carry while hunting and hiking, especially when going out west. I have no desire for full bore loads, just enough to have fun. I was thinking of loading 200 gr bullets, but open to go up or down. I have read that most people love 240 gr and that seems to have the most variety. I was thinking of the XTPs for carry ammo and lead for plinking. Looking for some good advice.
What are your favorite loads?
Jacketed or cast? (I will be buying, not casting myself)
I have 44 mag cases. If I want to load Spl loads should look at Spl data and add .5 gr or so to make up the extra space? Or should I just start at Mag data and work down until I reach Spc velocities?
Any other tips or experiences would be appreciated as well. Thanks.
