I would appreciate any feedback on if we can use .45 Auto Rim brass in our 625's. I shoot this revolver in USPSA with major loads and moon clips and in IDPA with the same load in ESR division. I now shoot ICORE and have come up with a minor load and was wondering if I could reliably use the Auto Rim brass with "HKS" speedloaders and shoot in the new ICORE "Retro" division and maybe use it in IDPA in SSR division. Thanks in advance for any answers

That would be legal and I shoot a M21 in 44 spl using HKS speed loaders. My load is minor and I have fun with it. I had a bunch of AR brass a couple of years ago and it worked great in my 625.

Everything would work as planned except for SSR in IDPA. The factory listed weight on the 625 is an ounce over the max weight limit for SSR....
I suppose you could weigh your gun and see if it makes weight. Otherwise, your local clubs may not care since they are probably not overrun with Revo shooters anyway.

Try Trailboss for an awesome ICORE load in your 625 using auto rim or regular brass.

Take care,
Dave

If you find a Ti cylinder for your 625 it will make weight for SSR just fine. They are hard to get now though. I don't think anyone would complain unless it was a state or regional match.

John,
You are good to go with that combo, I even have S.L.Variant loaders (3) and loader holders (all new ) that I will sell you.

Regards,
DB

PS I'll even sell you my IDPA legal SSR .45 (TRR325) has 100rds through it, fiber optic sight and a 3 3/4lb trigger.
PPS You shoot better in Retro anyway, go figure.
