Does this .001" make much difference in accuracy? life of the brass?

I'venarrowed by choice down toeither the Hornady XTP or the Speer Gold Dot for hunting with my S&W 629 44 mag. The basic difference between the two is this .001". Since I'll be using open sights, I'll probably never be able shoot both and come up with a clear winner. But has anybody with a scoped revolver tried bullets that were both diameters and seen anything decisive.


Thanks

How much, if any, difference is made by .001" difference in bullet size will depend on YOUR gun! What is the diameter of your chamber throats that the bullets must go thru to get to the forcing cone in the barrel? What is the GROOVE DIAMETER of your barrel??

Just offhand, I'd say that this .001" of bullet diameter will make no difference at all.............
