I like AA-9 for full power loads these days, of course old standby 2400 is as good as it ever was, and I still use it, too. I have no direct experience with a 3" .44 mag but lots with 4" S&Ws and 4 5/8" Rugers.
6GUNSONLY, Yes Sir that is a great load for a 4" 29. I'm using a hard-cast 240 grain LSWC and 9 grains of unique. Easy on me and the gun. I have no experience with 3" barrels.Here's a picture of my 31 year old beater.
