Top loads with most powders are at 800 FPS. Appears as thought you have already been loading a thin forcing cone too hot. I don't think I would be posting this combination for new loaders to follow with their 696 . This is a good combination....but for a Model 69.

My mistake...your loading for a 629 {has a thicker forcing cone} and it's a Magnum so your load is not over book for that, but for a 44 special it does appear to be over book.
