I've got a 4" 29-2 and I expect that guys who think it's FUN to shoot Winchester White Box 240gr. Magnums in such a gun also think it's "fun" to pay a lady in a leather bustier to flog them with a cat of nine tails.

I've probably shot 20-1 Specials vs. Magnums in that gun and the majority of the Magnums were fired in a 2-3 month period to diagnose a factory defect in the forcing cone.

200gr. Speer Gold Dot Specials are very pleasant to shoot in that gun.

240gr. Winchester White Box Magnums are like punching the side of a Bradley.
