I'm not a gunwriter or an expert on these matters. I have a .480 Ruger in a 5" RB that I bought before the first time I went to AK to carry against the highly unlikely chance I would have to do battle with a large bear. I stoked it with Beartooth Bullets 420gr WFNGC near 1200fps, load was later slightly reduced due to primer pockets that got a bit loose after few firings. The 1200fps loads where reliable but I did not notice the loose primer pockets right away as I was working my way through lots of new brass. The obstacle I see with the 329 is that I think you would have to be REAL careful about full power heavy bullet loads, the kind you might be wanting to use. That 5" RB is a bullet puller, you have to pay real close attention to expander plug diameter and the crimp you apply. I can't imagine a 329 with full house heavy bullet loads not locking up the cylinder. If you want full power I'd go with something a bit heavier.
