Ok, so let me make sure I have the numbers right. The cylinder (where you place the rounds) has a sizing of .432 (which is larger than the barrel). Almost doesn't matter what the bullet size is there, to a degree. So, you fire the bullet, sized at .433, and that will immediately slam into the barrel, which is only .430. That's a big bullet in a small pipe. A lot of compression making the bullet smaller. Did I miss anything?
So, if that doesn't work out for you, try .001" over the barrel (.431)....
I'm gonna be curious as to how that works out.
Actually, a lot of people think that the cylinder size is just as important as the groove size and you should be sized .001 over the cylinder size.
I will let you know how it works out. Did you ever hear of the term obturate?

It would be difficult to size these down to .431 as the mold drops them as .434.
ETA: You are not going to believe how much lube that .44 boolit is going to take. That is one huge lube groove.
