Ya, well, if you want to make .44 rounds nothing is going to give you a great return except for .308 which is as hard to come by as .44 so that's not great news is it? Shotgun shells are one of your best bets. .308 will give you 1 to 1. Imagine that. It kinda svcks. Scrap metal isn't even worth converting to .44, nor is 5mm. Besides .308 the best is .32, shotgun shells, 5.56 and maybe 10mm. It depends on how much you want the .44 rounds and what you've brought with you to make it with.
Here's the Ammo Press wiki link.

Edit: Oh, I may have gotten some of that wrong. But I don't think so. You can always save before you do the conversion. It's been a while since I've been there but I've converted a lot of ammo for .44 rounds.
