I like the idea of a .44, its a manly-mans calibre and the caps not jamming up the works is an advantage. I've just been doing some reading on loads and power levels, i think keeping the powder down and a nice low output of 150ft/lb will be perfect for knocking holes in the surrounding countryside. Roll on January!
Don't be tempted by a basic misunderstanding of what is required to get the ball out of the chamber and into the barrel via the forcing cone. You really do not want to be loading much less than 20gr in ANY .44cal revolver.

Getting a ball stuck halfway down the barrel will end you up in a world of woe when you fire the next shot and bulge that nice new barrel.
