Rocky, I think you're exactly right as to why the short barrel works better. And the 44 Bulldog is a great little shot thrower.
GOB, I'd guess a 44 capsule would not work out too well in a 45 pistol, and I dunno how you'd crimp a .429 capsule in a 45 case with a mouth opening around .452......
Besides, the 45 capsule oughta hold more shot, and the more shot you can stuff into a pistol shot load, the better.
A 44 shot load gives a much denser pattern than a 38 shot load, and 45 oughta be better yet.
