keithwins, 44 Mag is one cartridge that really benefits from reloading your own, if you don't already reload. Not only does it cut round cost roughly in half, it also gives you the ability to download 44 Mag cases to 44 Special velocities and cut recoil down until you get used to handling the recoil of your new to you model 29.

If you don't reload, yet, then I suggest that you go to Freedom Munitions and order some of their 44 Mag RNFP loads with the 240 grain plated bullets. Those aren't loaded as hot as what you will find from the major ammo players and again, more manageable recoil for you to get used to the beast. I have no affiliation with Freedom BTW, but my brother had bought some of that ammo so I know it's easier on recoil.

44 Special ammo is also a good learning round, but that stuff is expensive last time I looked. Quite a bit more than 44 Mag ammo.
