Model 625 JM & +P rounds?

[jski3]

Did anyone notice it appears that 3 rounds went off. But looking at the case web for burned powder residue, it appears that maybe only the round under the hammer went off? The case web on the 3rd round isn't visible.

BTW, look how thin those chamber walls are on the inside!

Idk I find that hard to believe. Seems to me that is a double powder charge with a fast burning powder.

Bluedot and I have talked about this quite a bit in my quest to more velocity. I've shot the following load in a 3",4", and 5" S&W 625. Mostly a 5" which is what I carry in the woods and deer hunt with. I'm definitely in the upper level of 45 Super and lower level of 460 Rowland. I don't shoot this load a lot but I have put about 200 rounds through my 5". I used 11.3 grains of power pistol. I've been over 11.5 grains but the best on paper has been 11.5 down to 11.2. The spread stays tight and accuracy is excellent out to 60 yards or so. Don't get me wrong.... this load is definitely a power house. It is very hard to tell this load from most factory 44 magnum loads, which was my goal.

I've recently started playing with heavier projectiles. I've been up to 250 xtp bullets with 8 grains of power pistol. Haven't shot to much and don't have the data in front of me to share.

Going from 45 acp to 45 acp +P is not a huge jump . Going from 45 acp to 460 Rowland is . Therefore shooting 460 Rowland in a 625 JM, my analogy is " spot on " . Regards, Paul

I agree it would have been but you didn't specify that.

And I agree, shooting 460 Rowland in a 625 is a bridge too far for me also.
