Like the others have said already, reloading for 44 Mag will really show the versatility of the cartridge. You can load from mild to wild and also either save a bunch of money or be able to shoot twice as much. For cheaper rounds, I like the Missouri Bullet Company Hi Tek coated bullets (or Bayou Bullets coated offerings) and use HP38/231 for lower powered loads, Longshot, Unique or CFE-P for middle powered loads and Accurate #9/2400/H110/296/4227 for the hot stuff. And for jacketed bullets, Roze Distribution sells some Zero .431 diameter 200 and 240 grain JSP bullets that are reasonably priced at 13-14 cents a round in 1000 lot quantities. Those would be great for older model 29's that have a larger cylinder throat and I have had no problems with my 629-3 Classic with them either.
You will find that you will get many many recommendations for powder and bullets, as the 44 Mag isn't the least bit picky on powder or bullets.
