Looking for heavier than normal (but safe) loads for 44-40 in the S&W model 644. Also looking for heavier but safe loads for 45Colt in S&W model 25-5. Thanks in advance for any help. Quantrill

Just bought a used 25-5, 4inch in 45Colt caliber. Where would be a good place to find reloading info for it? I assume that since there are heavier loads listed for T-Cs, there just might be some proven heavier loads for the 25-5. Just thinking

99% home cast hard lead. Rarely is lead clean-up a problem. Lewis Lead remover (or clone) if there is a problem.

None, unless a #59 counts.

My understanding is that +P should not be used in airweights. If if don't say it on the gun, then don't use it. YMMV

Having shot "Bullseye" targets for many years and talking with many competitors over those years, I would say that they are evenly divided. Having said that, it has been pointed out that the 6 o"clock requires a steadier hand and some times waiting too long for the shot to break. It is a more...

Any problem with leading can be cleaned up with a "Lewis Lead Remover". Lead bullet diameter should match the cylinder dia.

K-38 would be my choice

I think a caliber specific day at a gun club would be a great idea. One a month for the better known calibers. It would get out some safe queens not usually shot.

Thanks guys. Standard loads it is for this 59.

Should (not can) +P (or even +P+) be used in an original 1st generation model 59? Thanks for your input. Bill

While I do not have a model 41, I have spent many happy hours shooting National Match bullseye competetion. Many folks used the model 41 for the .22 phase. It was always a good competitor. Lots of luck.
