I jumped on it
If you hadn’t there are a lot of people here that would have doubted your sanity.

That’s not a GOOD buy that's a steal.

Having a large number of N frame S&W's my only suggestion would be for some one with a new 629 that has little experience with a 44 mag would be to start with a box of 44 specials.
That gun with those heavy bullets will let you know what recoil is all about. It can also start you on the road to flinching.
Put a box of 44 specials through the gun and get a feel for it first.
One question, the 350 rounds are they factory or reloads?
If they are reloads and you don’t know who reloaded them,,,,, they may or may not be safe.
Just a word of caution.
Even without the ammo that’s still a great price,,,
