I have owned a 329PD for over 10 years and I love it. I also have a 4-1/4" Mdl 69 and it is a nice revolver also. For ease of shooting I find either pleasant to shoot with 7g of Green Dot or 7g of Trail Boss behind a 220 to 250g cast boolit. Magnum loads like 21g of 2400 and a 250g boolit is quite a handful in either gun.
