I'm new to reloading, and don't know which 44 Mag lead bullet to get for simple target shooting. I'm using a S&W 629 with a 4" barrel.

I keep finding .429 & .430 bullets and would like to know the pro's and con's to each.

Is one better than the other for general target shooting?

  what ever fits the end of your cylider better, I'd go with the .430's.

  If a lead bullet is under-size it will lead the bore badly . if you don't have a way to slug the bore, Go with a 430.

  I use the .430 and never have any problems with accuracy and leading.
