Will it run .45 Auto Rim also????
I had three 629s, two -2 Mountain Revolvers with the bead blasted finish and one -6. Traded one -2 to a friend and sold the other one. Kept the -6 as it matched the 657 and 625/.45 ACP MGs that I have.
Also had one of the Springfield Armory ARMS FOR THE NATION Commemorative but sold that and another 625 .45 ACP and bought a second 657/.41 Mag.
The only reason I bough and keep the 629/.44 is Speer several years ago came out with the .44 Magnum 200 grain Gold Dot HP Short Barrel Load. I was so impressed with the performance of the made for the .44 Special 200 grain DEEP HP bullet that would expand EVERY time at 1080 fps from a 4" I just had to have a gun to shoot it in....and the MG was the perfect vehicle. Berry's Bullets used to have a 200 grain plated bullet and I bough a couple thousand and have a practice load that matches the factory load. Speer also has load data for the bullet in the #14 Manual.
Funny story on the 629. I bought it off GunBroker and when it arrived it was like new. When I wrote and thanked the Seller for a quick smooth transaction I asked why he had sold it. He said he had fired six rounds of factory 240s through it and that was enough for him.... I have 20 rounds of Gold Dots and probably 30 rounds of the practice load through the gun and that is it...just sits in the safe....
