Nice! Light contour "Mountain Gun" bbl, but in 6" length is new to me.

If it was easy, anybody could do it.
MtGun44,
Memory says:
They were a one-off, 1985 production for the Lew Horton distributorship, and differed from the standard production (Target?) models. Barrels were tapered (as you noticed) and lengths were 6 1/2" on a square butt frame, and 3" on a round butt frame. Choice of blue or stainless.
Where did it go? I was going to copy it.
Ben,
At .430 - .4305 for your cylinder it should be about perfect. What are you going to size at? I had a S&W 629 that had a cylinder that miked about the same as yours and I sized at .431 and it shot very well using the Lyman 429244.

The 44 special is arguably the finest calibre ever made. But I'm highly predjudiced in that direction.
"Investment" is the new "Throw money at it!"
Detectives, and Cobras, and Agents!
Oh my!
I'm thinking of 2 lots ........., A = .430 and B = .431, ....shoot both, then we'll go from there and hopefully see if the revolver has a preference ? ?Originally Posted by skeet1

I wholeheartedly agree. There is something "Special" about the cartridge.
I have both the 624 with 4" barrel and a 624 with a 6½" barrel. They have given me some of the most pleasurable shooting I have had. I bought them when they first hit the market. Both of mine have the Red "C" on the box.
Here is one of my favorite targets of all time - this was shot with the 6½" standing at 25 yards in front of witnesses (if that is important):

FWIW, Ben--my 624's throats spec just like yours, and .431" #429421s shoot VERY WELL, to 1100 FPS. 90% of its shooting gets done with Skeeter's 7.5 grains of Unique, though.
I don't paint bullets. I like Black Rifle Coffee. Sacred cows are always fair game. California is to the United States what Syria is to Russia and North Korea is to China/South Korea/Japan--a Hermit Kingdom detached from the real world and led by delusional maniacs, an economic and social basket case sustained by "foreign" aid so as to not lose military bases.
Congrats Ben! And a gold bead to boot! I love my 4" 624. I searched for it for two years and drove 240 miles to get it. I haven't seen one at any of the guns shows I frequent in 3 or 4 years for any price. I had a Simply Rugged Sourdough Pancake with the inside-out straps made for mine and can carry it concealed under a t-shirt if I need to.
Nice score! You are well armed sir!
Guys, those are some beautiful revolvers!
Boolits !!!!! Does that mean what I think it do? It do!
