Have the same mold and have shot them with both 44 Mag and 44 Spl brass. don't have load data here at work, but Unique, Red Dot and Clays have worked for me.
I usually use load data for the 44-40 as a start.

I believe in the Bible, Freedom, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights and personal responsibility. My government believes I am narrow minded, intolerant and dangerous.
I load that boolit in .44 special cases, with either 3.5 or 4 grains of Bullseye for a pleasant,accurate load. Even though its a conventional design, I shoot it as cast lubed with LLA. If I remember, I'll post a pic when I get home tonight.
After commenting on this thread I found a six banger in Swapping and Selling and bought it. Now I need a 44 for myself to justify the mould.

It's all chicken, even the beak!
I've tried. He said I'd have to pry it out of his cold dead hands. He does let me borrow it some as I cast and load for him. But I am looking for an excuse to get my own don't you know? Wife just got a new pistol so maybe I can manipulate the situation. She didn't say a word when I bought the mould. She may think it was a 9mm mould though.
As promised. Sorry for the delay, I had computer issues this weekend!
Pictured is my M24 .44 special, but this load shoots just as well out of my 6 1/2 inch pre 29 .44 Magnum. I have actually reduced it and now load 3.5 gr Bullseye, which shoots just as well. This group was two handed standing at 25 yards. May not impress all of you, but that's about as well as I can shoot.
What is the recommended seating depth for the 429-200-Rf ?
Top or second groove?
If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck.
Using 44 mag cases I deep seat these to crimp over the ogive at 1.485" and load 4.5 gr. of 700X for about 850' in my 629 Classic 6½"- very accurate. 7.0 gr. of HP38 is just as accurate and a little hotter @ 1,000 fps, still deep seated.
I shoot that boolit in my 44 mag pistols and rifle over 10 gr AA#5 for a load that is similar to 44/40 ballistics. I love it. I crimp in the crimp groove. I load in mag cases.
I run it with 8gr of Unique in my 1894 Marlin.

Yes.
It's a good plinking bullet for 44mag and 44 special

Try a faster powder with that light boolit. 231, Hp 38 or bullseye.
It’s my cowboy action bullet for my Marlin micro groove 1894 and my colt saa 44 specials. 4.5 grs. 700X in the magnum case and 4.2 in the special case. I leave unsized (.430-.431) for the Marlin and size to .429 for the Colts.
