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.
how do you handle that 7.5 grains, or 7grains of unique given alliant says the charge should be 6.9 grains.
not picking at it, as i have heard 7.5 grains many times behind that 429421 but it does conflict with alliant.
i guess what i am thinking of a 696 would be one thing. but then i have a skeeter special a model 28 rebarreled to 44special that i would be a lot more comfortable with.
