This is the only photo in this thread with the correct ammunition for the 1970 time period. Semi-Jacketed Soft Point. It was the original Remington-Peters Semi-Jacketed Soft Point load that Elmer Keith made his famous "two hits out of 4 shots on a wounded mule deer at 600 yds." with a 6 1/2" pre-model 29 S&W .44 mag at Paul Kriley's Ranch near Clear Creek in Idaho (the buck had been wounded by Kriley with a .300 mag rifle and Elmer finished it). Also, an amusing fact that I personally recall about this time period. After the original Dirty Harry movie debut, the price on model 29's went through the roof. Stories of Gun dealers charging double and even triple suggested retail went on for several years (and they were selling quickly, faster than the factory could keep up). When the mania resided, the gun stores were inundated with used model 29's that had only been fired 5 or 6 times and put away as fans found out that the way Harry Callahan made it look in the movie with .44 specials and blanks was way different than actually popping off a cylinder full of full-house .44 magnum rounds with no instruction on how to deal with the recoil. (You can bet most tried to "fight" it). The people who decided they actually enjoyed shooting this fine, accurate weapon were trading in for or just buying the newer 629 models and the more expensive AMT Automag in .44 automag.
