I used to have a 4" Model 29 and I would load 180 gr full wad cutters that I cast. I had two loads, one was around 1200 fps and really had a lot of hydrostatic shock, would vaporize a soda can full of soda. The other was a target load with the 180s and a little bullseye or unique to just get the bullet lumbering along at 750 fps. I had this load zeroed at 25yds and used to hunt cotton tail rabits and only head shoot them. I would drive along early in the morning very slowly and find them sunning next to their holes. I had one very carefully aimed shot then they were gone if I missed. I used to love that fried rabbit. It was good and a lot of fun to collect. Thor
