I want to load these 44 magnum cases with a 44 special load, so am I correct in
assuming that everything pertaining to the dimensions of a 44 magnum cartridge
will be the same...just the powder load will be that of a 44 special?

No.
A 44Special load in the larger 44Mag case will not produce the advertised 44Special ballistics.
The pressure developed in the larger case with more blank volume will be lower.
Look at the Lyman manual for their cast 210SWC at the recommended OAL for each cartridge:
- 7.7gr Unique in the 44Sp produces ~900fps
- It takes 10.0gr in the 44Mag case to produce that same velocity
