Title: HSM ammo ?
Post by: quadrafire on June 03, 2015, 03:52:34 PM: More specifically this bear load for .44mag. http://thehuntingshack.com/?page_id=25
I read somewhere and can't find it again that this load is not recommended in ANY S&W revolver. Any of you active shooters know about this. I was about to try some, but will wait for some more info.
This is for a smith 329pd

I have a cop buddy/hunting partner that has a 329 and I think he's put some of these rounds through his but not sure. I'll send him a note and see what he knows about launching those rounds through your S&W.
