That was a second concern is having a funnel for hot gases.

I've been trying to find the ol EK 44 429421 bullet in bulk . Well they have all added a bevel base to it?? Is it for better or worse?

I've put a serious buff an polish on some pitted guns then cover with a scroll engraving pattern for really great results.

That's my goal , an accurate load first that is not pushing the limits of the 629.. And not pounding like the 240s.

Sounds like I may need to give the h-110 a try.

Gonna have to build some for my 629... Thinking 22 grs of 2400 an a 180 xtp..

Big fan of 2400 ... My hot 45 colt loads using 250 gr xtp an 2400 shoot very well.

Wow may have to give em a try then.. Will be launching them out of a 6" 629-2.

That's what I guess I will have to do. :(. Thanks for the response.

Sorry for the double post.. Thought my first answer was missing in action.

Barrels clocked but not running concentric to the frame or cylinder. It makes a straight right turn starting at the frame. an when eyeing down the bore the firing pin hole is off center alot.....3/32 at least

The barrels threaded into the frame nonconcentric.. When looking down the frame and rib it doglegs right as soon as it leaves the frame.. An when looking down the bore the firing pin hole is not even close to being concentric with the bore... Like by .090 easy.

Just received a blued 6" K38 that I bought online. This 1967 vintage has an immediate glaring problem ..the barrel is crooked... Bad!!! Will a new barrel cure it's ills or am I stuck with this problem?

Hey thanks for the welcomes.

I'm curious I have always fired 240+ grainers in my 44s. Is there a jacketed 180 that will group as well???
