This thread makes me want to go watch Dirty Harry.
I have some powder I bought from Accurate Arms which is similar to #9.
I use enough to get 1,200 fps from a 4" barrel.
I cast my own Lyman 429421 from linotype.
I think I should try to get a deer with it this year.
whelennut Dirty Harry was just on again last night. I watched it.. again.  Did you catch it?

This weekend my sidearm of choice was a 29-2 loaded with 240 grain cast SWCs pushed by 10 grains Unique. Lots of wildflowers blooming in the high mountains. ![[Linked Image]](http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b109/IV_Troop/Handguns/IMG_1233_zpsdd9aqfhh.jpg) Nice 44, Mac.

EdM,
I didn't think they started making the full under lug Classic's until after they eliminated the P&R Smiths. My memory is not what it once was, but I thought the 629-2 was the first full lugged guns. Am I wrong, or was your 29-2 a barrel change? It was warranty work performed by S&W in 1994 due to a defect original 8 3/8" barrel that I had chopped to 5" back in the late 80's. They called and asked what I wanted for a barrel as they did not make an unlugged 5". I suggested the 5" Classic barrel and they obliged gratis.
Conduct is the best proof of character.

That was a classy move on their part and a good choice, Ed.

All of these DA 44's make me question my wanting of a new SA. Had a SRH I bought brand new for $400 in '04 and had to sell when I went through a divorce a few years later. Sure cant replace it for that now.

This one was pretty clean.... started as a kid with Ruger 3 screws, kille a few deer, went S&W, then back to Ruger.......very briefly (Super Redhawk and then this SBH). Am done with Ruger handguns. Might get a Smith 629 4" if one comes along at a fair price. If not then just drop down to a 686 6" for general duty (inc deer). Just don't need the boom and roar with such bad sinuses. ![[Linked Image]](http://i.imgur.com/BW34Ib8.jpg)

This last weekend my dad, oldest daughter and I went into some high mountain lakes in the upper Pahsimeroi Valley of Elmer Keith fame. I was packing my 5" Model 29-2, in a Hill People Gear rig. ![[Linked Image]](http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b109/IV_Troop/June%2016%20Pahsimeroi/addbdd71-a236-4925-8f98-e038f8ec1770_zpso0ldzi4b.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b109/IV_Troop/Handguns/P1010542_zpsbzvrihpu.jpg)

Great pics as usual Mackay. How are you liking the HPG chest rig? I have been debating on picking one up for my Redhawk and 1911.

The punchline is that I should have gotten one sooner. I have been taking it kayaking on the river too, putting a Glock in it, with a spare 22 round mag.

That is one sweet looking SBH!!! High polish and awesome grain in the wood grips!!!

I talked my buddy out of his Mountain Gun. I've got a Diamond D Guides Choice Chest rig on order. I also ordered a Sourdough Pancake holster by Simply rugged. ![[Linked Image]](http://www.shrewbows.com/rons_linkpics/mountain-gun-44.jpg)
