First of all, my apologies as this video is not a reloading video. This video is hosted on YouTube and such videos are currently prohibited by YouTube.

The "Skeeter Load", which is a 250 grain cast SWC loaded in a .44 Special case with 7.5 grains of Unique powder, is one of my favorite loads.  This load, named for Skeeter Skelton, shoots from my 6 1/2" S&W Model 29 at about 950 fps.  I want to duplicate this velocity when shooting the same bullet from my S&W Model 629 TALO Deluxe, which has a 3" barrel.

I decided to try casting 44 magnum / 44 special bullets by using two molds during the same casting session. The molds are the Lyman 429421 (the Elmer Keith SWC), and the Lee 429-200-RF.

Loads of BaconLoads […]

This is the third video in the Powder Coated Cast Lead Hollow Point Bullet Testing series, which is a long experiment testing powder coated cast lead hollow point bullets made from various alloys and fired at various velocities.
