Count me in as another buckeye who uses ONLY full-power magnum loads in my .44s, who fires over 50 rounds a session without ill effects either on me or the gun. I am another one who, if I wanted to fire Specials, would buy a M24 or M624. I had one experience(with a .357) trying to clean up the extra chamber residue from a previous owner who fired 38 Specials in it, and I will never go through that again(and he even tried to keep it clean).

Use reasonable magnum loads in your .29s and don't worry about it.
