I traded an 8 shot 627 for an older model 29-2 a few weeks ago. Last night the UPS driver showed up with my dies, brass and 500 bullets.

I'm using Red Dot because that'a the powder that fit best with the Lee scoop powder dippers I have. Soon I'll be adding this caliber to my Dillon and will be able to measure out the exact powder charge I want.

I loaded up 100 round today. tomorrow I'll be testing them to see what kind of groups I can manage.

So far with Mag Tec ammo I'm doing pretty well with 2 - 2 1/2 inch groups at 50 yards off a block of wood on the bench.

I like the 44 russian in my 4inch 624. Very accurate.
