Or are 44 mags stronger?

In the same platform, like an 1894 Marlin, the 357 is by far the strongest, with the 44 Mag being stronger than the 45 Colt, just due to differences in steel in the chamber and differences in bolt thrust. But if we're looking at safety margins, I don't think it matters, as long as 44 Mag pressures aren't exceeded in a 45 Colt rifle.
