Inspired by Eastwood, reviewing the movie his seemed a little short...I have one of those S&W Model 29 with the 8 3/8" barrel.


I took a deer with it at 180 yards!  It did help that I had just finished shooting practicing with that thing! 

He used two for the films, a long barreled one for the close-ups, and a shorter one for other shots. I forget the exact lengths.

I shoot mostly lead.  Montana 200s, and a bunch I cast from a 3 banger Mountain Mold. I would really like one of the Lee 6 cavity, but they don't make them in a bullet I want.

I got the custom ones sorted out pretty well now, after 80 rounds or so, a few jacketed got the barrel mostly shiny. Hammering the 100 yd gong and not having to clean the barrel, priceless!
