Can either the 38 or 44 Spl be loaded hot, yes they can. But the better answer is to use 357 or 44 Mag brass and load them to lighter charges rather than the other way round.
If as mentioned I had pounds and pounds of one caliber brass and wanted to shoot the higher pressure loads I would swap out a few pounds of those cases for the proper ones to be loaded to higher pressure.
Also for the 44, I would look at purchasing a hundred new cases specifically for the higher pressure loads. Then there would be no doubt about it if on down the road years later you or someone you leave it all too, decides to drop a few into something which isn't up to the pressure level these might develop. At least if you have the "mag" loads in "mag" cases the mystery loads might not be such a surprise years down the road should some of them get mixed in with standard loads.
just sayin.
