I have the same revolver, I predict you will like it.
I mostly shoot 45 Auto Rim hand loads in mine. The moon clips work great, but are a pain to load and unload IMO.
Have fun!
I brought a S&W JM 625-8,a couple months ago,getting ready to go to the range tomorrow to see how much I like the revolver.
I have one as well. Dillon sells a mooning/demooning tool that takes the pain out of the process. It's on their web site, or in the Blue Press if you get those.
It works great. I have some arthritis in my hands, and this thing makes it go pretty quick so my hands don't have time to stiffen up.
Oh, and the gun shoots great!
Right tools for the job and life is easy. I have yet to have bullet jump shooting my 625. Proper crimp eliminates the bullet jumpYeah, I have a few of those tools. I still like the 45 Auto Rim brass better and you can load 45 Colt bullets in there and roll crimp them so no jumping crimp.
I like mine well enough, but I was surprised by how much .45acp recoils in an N frame revolver. I expected a lighter shooting handgun.
I switched the JM grips for a square-butt conversion.
I'm looking for a bullseye bullet for the
25-2s. Am looking at a full WC, not a 1911 type. One 6" 25-5 I have set up for
250 gr RnFp for hunting, the 6" set up for 242gr WC. The 600 series S&W seem
heavy to me.
Take the semi-wadcutters you have now and flip them over seat them flush and now you have a match wadcutter.
