New Favorite Load for my 4" 29-3

This little -3 is my favorite Model 29. As its not P&R the purists will likely scorn it.
Been wanting a mid-range load for casual paper punching.
Had tried a number of different ones with mediocre results.
Looking through a OLD Speer manual, I see several Green Dot loads.
GREEN DOT? That's a shotgun powder, isn't it?.
As the LGS had a can on the shelf, I figured what the heck.
Made up 10 each of several different loads.
Second one was a charm, 10 yards, offhand:

Note added: I traded a 21-4 straight across for this one a few months ago.
That 21 had been back to S&W twice for various defects and never shot a decent group.

Just got home from the range, where about 100 of these Keith's got lobbed in to paper. 6 1/2 inch 29-2, mid 1970s gun. Wiped down but not cleaned yet. It is time for it's annual side plate off cleaning and lube, so I'll wait 'til tonight for that chore.

Sad pic of a long gone 29-2 6.5", bought during the DH/Taxi Driver craze. Just one of MANY S&Ws that I have foolishly let slip out of my collection.

Sigh.

Here's my latest find, Model 29-2

Here's my 6-1/2" Model 29-2, ca 1972 (N750xx). Just picked it up 2 weeks ago at a local gun show. I've been looking for this one for a long time, but it was worth the wait.

Thanks for sharing gentlemen. Those are some fine 29s and 629s and great presentation!
This 6" 29-2 is the only contribution I can make.
