Won't argue 20 vs .44. Different guns, different uses. BUT - Andy, get your ballistics figures right. A factory 20 gauge gut-bucket slug is about 275 grains, with a MV of 1580 FPS.
I don't load (or shoot) .44 Magnum, but in .45 Colt, I'm pushing a hard-cast WFN 335 grain bullet at a MV of 1325 FPS, that out of a 4 5/8" barrel. I know that the .44 can't beat that (safely), but it can come close.
