Default Model 629 Load Restrictions?

I have just recently become interested in acquiring a Model 629. In the back of my mind, I seem to recall that some felt caution must be used in shooting higher powered loads in the older model 29's.

Is that the case with the 629's as well?

If so, with what series (eg 629-x) does this issue become a non-factor?

Thanks

Yes, no dash and dash 1 629's are the ones to be real careful with, with them use full power loads with 240's and under sparingly. No 300's or corbon or buffalo bore stuff! With the dash 2E's and later you will be ok with more full power stuff but eventually a heavy diet will loosen up even and Endurance pkg 29/629. I learned the hard way,twice.
