The answer comes from physics ... Force equals pressure times area.

The cross sectional area of the .357 is .100 square inches while the .44 is .152 square inches.

Since the pressures are the same, the forces on the frame of the .44 are a full 50% higher than the .357 for the same pressure, barrel length, etc.

Take care,
