Thanks for all the help... I'll keep reading other posts as I get up to speed on reloading. I'll also be looking for another can of powder for some light loads. Thanks to all and I hope you have a great Christmas...

Thanks... I may go ahead and pick up a different can of powder for light loads and keep the 2400 for heavier loads... many seem to be using Unique for lighter loads... I have seen bottom loads for 2400 at somewhere in the 17-18 grains in books and that seems to be in the range mentioned so it...

May I ask a few more question from some of you experienced .44 loaders Is there a light load for a 240 grain using 2400 (I already have a new container of 2400 powder so I would like to use it) Without causing emotion... is there another powder type better than 2400 for "light" loads with 240...

Thanks for help. When I hear "SAAMI" loads, does that mean any load that does not exceed the "max" in a load chart? I do not intend on shooting continued heavy loads, but when a desired hevier powder load is desired, I am just wondering how not to exceed SAAMI. Also, when two books list...

I am new reloader... I have read several posts that the S-W 44 will handle standard loads but should "not" be loaded heavy like a Ruger Redhawk might take. Can someone assist me with these comments... what is recommended for a new 629, 6.5 barrel--for long gun life. Do these comments mean the...

THanks for all the help. I have read the books completely and have the Sierra Handgun Relaoding video. It sounds like I don't need to be overly concerned with the 44 crimp as it should be solid. I also understand that for both the 44 and 40 I should seat the bullets to the regular overall length...

I have not reloaded in 20 years and now getting the boxes out of attic. I am reloading S-W 40 (Glock) and 44 mags (new 629). Can I get thoughts on following. 1) for the 44 mag, purchased 240 grain, and 2400 powder. Is this powder good for use? ALSO, I am reading warnings about not over-crimping...

grips for 629 Thanks... I am looking also at the Ahrend Grips that was mentioned in this thread (maybe the cocobolo, retro combat round to "square"--the square seems to have a nice look on the 629... but haven't personally handled them)... if anyone has experience with this brand an style, let...

Thanks for all the input and help--it is obvious that there is a lot of knowledge and history on this forum... and I appreciate that you are willing to share it in a helpful way. I did order a 629 classic... it should take about four to six weeks to arrive. Thanks on the info regarding ammo...

I would appreciate some help… I am ready to purchase either a new model 29 or model 629 (desire the 6 or 6 1/2 inch). I want it for GENERAL use, plinking, an occasional deer hunt or hunting sidearm. Here are some questions I am trying to resolve -Which might have the highest desirability if any...
