Anyone have any experience with this load in the model 25 S&W? Looking for max thump for my 4" Mountain Gun and it's been said this load is safe for the N-frame in 45 Colt. After looking at some of John Linebaugh's handload data for the model 25, this load comes in tamer than some of his stuff, so I'm hoping it's ok. It's a 335gr. HC at 1050fps from a 7.5" barrel.

I own Rugers that will handle this load with ease, but I enjoy taking the Mountain Gun out every now and then. Such a damn fine wheelgun!


Expansion is fine, penetration is final.
