Very interesting post. I agree with almost everything except Federal ammo. I bought several cases of Federal 147gr plated bullets ammo to shoot in my 929. The moonclipped brass would stick in the chambers very hard. I solved the immediate problem by running 38 Short Colt ammo in the 929. It runs fine but does blow the brass out noticeably. More recently discovered that used Win, WMA and WCC brass runs in my cylinder with no extraction problems. Note: both WMA and WCC brass have crimped primers. I also plan to reload some used Federal brass to see if it runs OK.
