21 MAR--Just looked up the actual chrono notes and have revised below post as to velocities.
Below information is okay.

Isn't it GREAT?
Several years ago, I was in West Texas and shot the original Mountain REVOLVER (not Mountain GUN) in .44 Mag, which a gun writer friend had for evaluation. It was really nifty, and I coveted it, but already owning a custom, short-barrel .44 Super Blackhawn, AND a Colt New Service .44 Special, I could not really justify getting one.
Then I went to the Dallas SHOT show and saw the 625-6 Mountain Gun in .45 Colt and that did it for me. Phoned my favorite dealer and ordered one--Didn't even ask the price! So, the second one I ever saw was mine own!
I've had really good results with 250 LSWC bullets and either 9.0 gr or Unique or 9.0 gr. H. Universal. Chronos at 898 fps, very pleasant to shoot, and quite accurate.
I also have an old Lyman 454424 mould that seems to be cut just a trifle long, because it throws wheel weight slugs at 276 gr. It is the old long nose Keith-Thompson SWC bullet, and it is a hoot to shoot at long range, with the same 9.0 gr loads of Universal, at 869 or 9.0 Unique, at 887.
Hope you enjoy your Mountain Gun as much as I've enjoyed mine.
Best,
Johnny
MOLON LABE!
