I’m a fan of anything .429! Have two 44 Specials, a stainless 5.5” flat top Bisley Blackhawk and a stainless GP100 with a 3” barrel. I’d love to post pictures, but I haven’t figured out how since the PhotoBucket days. I shoot Skeeter’s load of 7.5 gr. of Unique most of the time in the Bisley with either the Lyman 429421 or the RCBS 44-250, both of which I cast myself. I mostly use CCI 300 primers in StarLine brass. The GP100 is my most carried handgun and is usually loaded with 240 gr. XTP’s over 7.0 gr. of Unique. Both guns shoot quite well.


If we live long enough, we all have regrets. But the ones that nag at us the most are the ones in which we know we had a choice.
