I just wanted to know what was more powerful a 44 or 45. I read somewhere all a 454 was 45 mag.

It was Handloader magazine. If your shooting a Super Redhawk in 44mag and load it hot, does a hot 45lc handload still exceed the 44 mag energy levels? That article in Handloader lists 340gr Rim Rock bullets which is a heavy bullet for a 44 mag. Note that the loads suggested in the magazine are VERY HOT LOADS and are for use in Ruger REDHAWKS and SUPER REDHAWKS ONLY and exceed the maximum pressure level for ALL other 44 mags.
I would if I were going on a Bear hunt in AK or Moose in Maine. Some day... my time will come, and I plan to use the 44 with hot, heavy hard cast loads! The 44mag is very versatile, and with the proper load it can be used to kill just about any big game on the planet.
to quote Clint Eastwood "this is a 44 magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world.......You got to ask yourself, Do I feel lucky...
Well Do you.. Punk"
500 S&W Magnum with some of Ranger Ricks 700gr Bullets should pretty much say check and mate to anything you point it at.
Including the top of yo' head and the front of yo' face!
