If I recall you are using magnum pistols for both calibers. That being the case your pistol will be able to handle 38 special +P loads in .38 special cases easily. There shouldn't be too much problem there.

The .44 Magnum like the .357 Magnum can also have .44 special loads made using the magnum case. The only real difference being you do need a touch more powder for the minimum starting load. This is because of the additional volume of the case. A mid range special load might be a good starting point for the .44 mag. You should be able to go up into upper mid range of the magnum loads with the data you have been able to gather. You can get pretty good accuracy and have a load lighter than a full magnum load. Your revolvers do give you a lot of room to get something that should work for you.
