New to reloading looking for more resources for 300+gr pills & a good power. For a 629 s&w

Just out of curiosity, what is your barrel length, and what is your intended use for the 300+ grain loads?
I have shot a few island deer with my 6 1/2" 629 using 240gr XTPs with good results,
For bear protection I carry a 4" model 29 loaded with 300 grain Sierra's pushed by a healthy charge of vihta N110.

For thicker skinned game I’d recommend a JSP, the two below are accurate from my revolver:
Sierra SportsMaster Bullets 44 Caliber (429 Diameter) 300 Grain Jacketed Soft Point
Speer Uni-Cor Bullets 44 Caliber (429 Diameter) 300 Grain Jacketed Soft Point

For my 6" 629 I load a 300gr XTP over 20 gr. of H110 and a gas check hand cast 250hp over 21.5 gr Max load in my firearm but have taken several animals with both ! Both shoot under 2" at 75 yards if I pilot them right

Proceed with caution!What kind of fps are you getting out of that?
