what can you tell me about either? Pros/ Cons  both in performance and reloadability looking like the 44x356 might be easier to obtain components for? Thanks for any input

Last time I looked, Starline catalouged .445 Supermag brass.  Should not be any problem in obtaining components for either.

When you say 44x356, do you mean necking down a 445 Supermag case to 35 caliber such as the 358 GNR designed by Gary Reeder Custom guns?  I have read about this cartridge but never seen one. Comes close to 35 Remington ballistics.

If you have a G-2 Contender frame, then why not get a 444 Marlin?  Brass is ready to roll and plenty of good bullets out their.  Otherwise, would this wildcat you are considering require an Encore frame?  Not sure what pressures you would be running at.
