Dan - Would you please tell me if you have had bullet creep problems with that load in the 642. I have been thinking of the same load (not +p) in my 642 but was not sure if it would handle it? Also how is the recoil?
Thanks

I have not experienced any bullet creep. I use Remington brand ammo for that round. I guess I don't think it has too bad of a recoil. Of course I don't go to the range and shoot piles of the round either. Too expensive for that. Usually start the range trip with the carry rounds I have in the gun and then move to cheaper ammo. When I compare it to my friend's S&W 340 that shoots full 357 magnum loads it's mild. That one is snappy!
