S&W Service Process - Final Update (hopefully)

[cowboy4evr]

I do know that real stout 44 magnum loads can / will cause the cylinder to rotate backwards in the earlier 29's . The factory resolved that issue introducing the " endurance pkg " in later models . Brian Pierce in an article in Hand Loader magazine wrote an extensive article . If you go on line , do some research you can probably find it .
I don't know what you are shooting but it sounds like full magnum loads is the problem . Back off a couple of grains of powder ( if you are hand loading ) , that should solve the problem . Regards Paul

Going to shoot lighter Unique loads, and avoid 296 powder.
