Mrs. L has a favorite revolver. It’s her 4” Model 629. I load a 210 grain JHP over about 8.5 grains of Bullseye. Hits hard and is very civilized to shoot.

Nice hand cannon. Bullseye has a snappy impulse to it. Use 2400 for that earth shattering kaboom.

For really hard hitting loads, it seems that the slower burning powders like 2400 or even WW296/H110 are preferred, but it's the lighter loads of fast burning powders that make for very pleasant shooting loads.

I don't recall the exact load, but when I was competing in "pin-shooting," a typical load was about 7.5 gr of WW231 and a hard-cast 240gr LSWC. IIRC, it sent the bullet lumbering down range at about 750-800fps, a great speed to cleanly take the pin off the table and embed the bullet in the pin, so it won't ricochet back at you.
