Default Buffalo Bore 255 gr. Reduced Recoil

I've asked this one here before, can't remember the answer or find it in previous posts. Can the Model 29s from the early to mid 80's stand up to a few of these? A little bit heavier than the standard 240 gr. loads, "reduced recoil" simply because they don't recoil as much as the 300 gr. and heavier loads from Buffalo Bore. Still a "full power" load according to BB.
Seems like it would be a good compromise between the 240 and 300 gr stuff.

There wouldn't be a problem using there loads in the 29's.

According to what I read, BB developed these low recoil loads for people with 329 PD scandium revolvers.

Should be no problem in any model of steel S&W 44 magnum.
