Just won my first Gun Broker auction, will have a S&W 625 in hand some day
. One of the big reasons I chose this over another revolver cartridge is that I already reload for .45 ACP, and I just happen to really like the cartridge. So I saw in a post farther down the page that some folks have an issue with bullets pulling out under recoil, and it looks like the solution is either a different bullet, or a tighter crimp. Any other reloading tips for using a semi-auto round in a revolver? I already know about .45 AR brass, will try out the moon clips when the pistol arrives, if they prove as obnoxious as I've always thought they'd be, I'll go that route. But if not, I can buy a tool and a bunch of moon clips for what a batch of .45 AR brass would cost, thus eliminating just one more item to keep track of and on hand.
Also curious about just how strong the action is on these guns. Not that I'm looking to do a bunch of +P type loads, but if I did want to load something hotter than normal, am I asking for trouble? What about heavier than typical bullets? Again, not planning on actually doing anything with the info, but just want to know for my own edification
.
I know, no pictures, it didn't happen. They'll just have to wait until I actually have the revolver in hand
. Later.
