What does the Dacron do for you? Keep the powder from settling?When I reload it is usually for lower power loads than I can buy commercially, or with specially bullets that I can't find easily in commercial loads.
So most of my .44 loads use .44 Special.
I have shot a number of different commercial loads in my 329 PD which is hard on your hands regardless what you shoot in it. I have shot 240 grain .44 Special at 900 fps and it is still a handful, as are the 200 grain, 185 grain and 165 grain Hornady defensive loads - but the recoil does get a bit lighter.
In a heavy steel revolver, 200 grain hard cast with gas checks over about 6 grains of Bullseye with dacron on top of the powder is a tame load that was very accurate for me. I still have some but I have not yet tried them in my 329
YMMV
