Veral,
I'm waiting on two of your slugging kits for my wife's and my S&W Model 29s. Hers is 8 3/8", mine is 6", I've decided on the 280 grain weight with gas checks but haven't decided between the WFN and the LFN. We'll be using these for informal target practice from 50 to 150 meters (we're old IMHSA shooters) as well as hunting. The hunting use will be for hogs, deer, sidearms for elk & bear hunts, and I use mine as a ranch gun and occasionally have to put down cattle with it , max range of ~100 yards. The target loads will be in the 1000 fps range while the hunting loads run around 1250 in my gun and a bit faster in hers. I prefer to keep velocities moderate to hold these Smiths together ( I've already built mine twice over the years) and to keep the recoil level down a bit for the wife. This may be a bit much to ask of one bullet but I'm lazy and prefer to cast a whole mess of one bullet when I get around to it.
On the question of lubes which would you recomend Blue or Blue soft. We live in Georgia where the summers are hot, 90 to 100F, and these loaded cartridges will be around for a year or more. I've got a heater for my lubrisizer so I could go with your commercial lube if you think that is best.
Thanks for your help in this matter,
Lewis
