Default 44 special versus magnum

I was reading that lead may be more accurate than plated or jacketed. I’d like to try some. Mid south has some lead 44 Rim Rock bullets on sale for just
$10 per 100. They are advertised as 44 special,
and not magnum. Does that simply mean they are softer and need to run more slowly to minimize leading? I have special cases, I just hate to reset all my dies. Would I be better of with another lead bullet to try?
The gun is a 629-4 with 6.5 inch barrel.
I’ve been loading with 231 and cfe-p. Standard LP.
Thanks,
David
