I have been able to get the range a couple of times recently and am beginning to really gel with my S&W Mod 29 .44 with semi custom Herrett stocks. I've been using Georgia arms ammo of various configurations from 200gr cowboys at 750 FPS to 240 grain hunting loads at 1650 fps. The one I have found to shoot the best and be most comfortable for me is a 240gr lead SWC advertised @ 1100fps. I'd like to replicate this load myself. I have a Lee 240gr mold but have not had good results accuracy wise with my hand loads so figure I'll remove that variable. I have Green Dot, Unique and H110 on hand. I think 8 to 10 grains of either Green dot or Unique should get me in the ballpark. What I need from you good folks are bullet recommendations. I have yet to mic any of the Georgia Arms bullets but shall tonight. I feel like my gun may like slightly oversized bullets. Berry's LSWC look attractive and I nearly hit buy on a couple of hundred of them but figure I'll ask for wisdom here first.
