[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 721494, member: 25383"] I would absolutely avoid using H110 in the 629! That action won't last under that kind of pressure. 28 grains of H110 is considered to be a near max load in any revolver, but still suitable for the Redhawk. In a 7" barrel Redhawk, Hornaday actually saw higher velocity with #9 (they used 23 grains). I actually use 21.5 grains of #9 in an 8" barreled 629 for 1380fps (250 grain cast Keith style bullet with a gas check). Recoil is mild, and the rounds group at 1.5" at 50 yards effotlessly. Cases seem to last forever (I've got cases that have close to 20 loadings on them). On the otherhand I tried #9 with a 255 grain bullet in my Blackhawks, and it was a serious handfull! (20 grains). Probably due to the smaller grip frame. gary [/QUOTE]
