Are .44 / .45 lever guns easier to load than .357's?

You can "tune" the loading gate to allow easier loading. Check out the Marlin website, I know it's there, for sure; Winchester and Henry probably have similar info for their rifles.
If all else fails, Steve's Guns (https://stevesgunz.com) can do it for you.

I wasn't planning on it but I got a Rossi Ranch Hand in a trade. It's the .357 mag pistol.

It seems like many guns that it's just a base to build on. Not much by itself but SBR it, add a full wood stock, get it threaded, suppress it, add a dot optic, and you've got a $2800 double-stamp fun-gun.
