I purchased a Performance Center 8 shot 627-3 a couple years back and am wondering if you folks know if anybody makes speedloaders for this. I found some on the Thunder Ranch website but they're about $60 each, a little more than I want to spend! The full moon clips work great with factory loads but my handloads have a slight bulge where the bullet is seated and the moon clips just don't work. You can't completely chamber the cartridges. Without the moon clips they chamber just fine. I use a Lee carbide sizer die and RCBS expand and seat/ crimp dies. I spoke with customer service at S&W and was told that it was fine to shoot without the clips, although the fact the the ejector rod is too short to completely eject the cases without the clips is something I'll still have to work out.
