My favorite full power load with a S&W M629 .44 uses W296 powder and a 250 H&G cast bullet at 1400 fps thru Oehler chronograph. (Some say Hodgdon H110 is the same powder.) Check Win and Hodgdon data for specific loads. I prefer not to list exact powder weights because I think one should NEVER take another person's suggested load. Hint: My full power loads typically are a grain or two under the max specified load.
Good shooting and be safe.

ps: My mid-range loads for .44 Mag use Accurate Arms AA5 powder and 210 grain bullet at 1100 fps.
