There is a rimmed case (45 Auto Rim) that fits nicely in the S&W 625 so you can shoot the standard 230 gr FMJ without messing with moon clips. I have mooning/demooning tools to use stock .45 ACP, but I like loading the rimmed rounds for the 625. Starline sells the brass. RCBS and Dillon have appropriate shell holders and conversion kits. The 45ACP dies work fine with either brass.

Right you are. I've often thought about picking up some autorim brass. I've never found the moonclips to be the pain some say they are. I own around a hundred clips now. I'll crank out around 500 rounds, then go watch TV and put them in the clips.

I do compete in IDPA matches with my 625 and would be at a severe disadvantage without the moonclips.

I also think that Jerry Miculek is a god
