You will have a much easier time finding loaded ammo for .44 Magnum (I know you reload, but you can find yourself without your supply somewhere, when you need to pick up ammo locally). Also permits the use of .44 Special loads (which, if you handload, can be loaded in .44 Mag cases), of which there are many power levels from very mild to stepping on the heels of Magnum, if you get tired of the hand pounding you get from the full Magnums. Special is pleasant to shoot, and about equals .45 Colt performance.
Can the 45 Colt not be loaded down to 44 special levels?
