Default Conicals and twist rate

I've been reading up lately on different loads and bullets for my .54 TC Renegade Hunter. I am planning on doing some testing at the range over the course of the spring and summer.

I've always used 435 grain maxi-hunters with this gun and 100 grains of FFg Black powder. I just received some 360 grain maxi hunters and I was wondering about the length of the bullets. The 360's are quite a bit shorter in length that the 435's. Here's my question: Are shorter bullets (of the same design) more accurate (generally speaking) than longer bullets in a slower twist barrel. My gun has a 26" barrel and 1 in 48 twist. In other words, would the 360's be more accurate than the longer 435's with my 1 in 48 twist barrel?
