i have several 44-40 rifles and use .429 200gr cast bullets, two have tight throats and i take the decapping stem from my size die and size the neck of the loaded rounds 3/8 ", that has taken care of the chambering problem and they shoot as good as unsized ones in my other rifles. eastbank.
If you run your loaded ammo through the sizing die, you are sizing the bullets down inside the neck and they are no longer .429 in diameter.
