Hornady tested that load in a 7-1/2" Ruger Redhawk. The OP has a 6" M629.
He's not using my revolver & I didn't test that load to hunt 4-legged critters, only as a defense against 2-legged critters.
It's already been noted that it's not the optimal powder but that's the best the OP's got & should work for his needs.
