I've never heard of Ruger only loads in 44mag just in the 45Colt.

First of all talk to any good gun designer/metallurgical person and they will tell you FLUTES DO NOT AFFECT THE LOADING OF A REVOLVER - PERIOD!

Fluting on a revolver is just for prettiness and has no effect on the capabilities of a gun [UNLESS somebody bores out an original cylinder to a much larger size than originally designed].

This topic has been discussed numerous times over the years on Ruger, S&W, and even in the Handgun Threads of some rifle forums.
