I see there's several hard cast style loads available, but some of these seem like they're only safe in rifles or heavy frame .44's like Rugers.

What's recommended and safe to shoot out of a new production 4" 629 if need for SD in bear country.

Thanks.


What gave you the idea that a 44 mag isn't adequate for bear? Larry Kelly (of Mag-Na-Port fame) has knocked off even bigger critters with a revolver.
