For a 44 cal pistol (not revolver) between 20 and 30 grains of 3F black powder or black powder substitute (like pyrodex or goex pinical) should do the trick. You will have to adjust the load to do what you want and to shoot the distance you want, but that should get you started.
The above answer is stupid. Since most black powder pistols ARE revolvers. Fill the cylinder half full or a little more, if you do not want to play around with a grain counter,waste of time.

Are 22 cal short bullets for a 22 cal revolver?
22 shorts can be used in any 22 cal. weapon. however, some 22 rifles require long or long rifle 22 bullets. AA: Normally you use 22 shorts in a 22 cal revolver. 22 shorts use pistol powder. It burns much faster than rifle powder. Thus, a 22 short bullet is going as fast as it is going to go after it has travelled about 4 inches. A 22 long or long rifle uses rifle powder. The powder burns slower. It has finished burning when the bullet is about 20 inches down the barrel. A 22 long rifle bullet has very little force when shot from a pistol. The powder is still burning long after the bullet slowly left the barrel. So use pistol ammunition for a pistol and rifle ammunition for a rifle.
