No. A .357 Magnum revolver (not an automatic, lever action, or anything else with a headspaced chamber) can fire .38 S&W Special ammo, but not .38 Long Colt.
There are a dozen different cartridges with 38 in their name, and SOME are compatible with the .357 Magnum. A .357 will fire .38 Special, .38 Short Colt, .38 Long Colt- but NOT .38 S&W.
It will be marked on the barrel
NO NO NO! Only shoot what the rifle is chambered for and so marked.
.44 Long? Check your cartridge again. As for your question, whatever you have, I'm almost 100% certain it won't be compatible with a .44 Magnum firearm. The only cartridge backwards compatible with the .44 Magnum is the .44 Special, and even that has limitations. .44 Special can be fired in a .44 Magnum revolver, but you need to check with the manufacturer before attempting this with a rifle, as the rifle will have a headspaced chamber.
simply put .... no... you need long caliber bullets to fit in the chamber properly Actually, if you have some half moon clips, you can shoot .45acp in a .45LC. You will not be pleased with the results though. Buy some .45 LC ammunition please.
No. .22mag. bullets are too long, and they aren't heel-type bullets
No, they are different sizes.
Yes
the judge fires 45 colt which is the same as 45 long colt not to be confused with 45 acp it also fires 410 shot shells
First, it is Harrington & Richardson. Second- it depends. What is marked on the gun? H&Rs were made in .22 Short, .22 long, .22 Long Rifle, .22 Special, .22 WRF and .22 Magnum.
Ordinary .410 shotguns CANNOT safely fire .45 Colt, .44 Magnum or any other cartridge. Stick to .410s. They are designed for a lower pressure, smaller projectile. No. Bad ju-ju. Don't.
No. .38 Long Colt was the forerunner to .38 Special- and was originally a black powder cartridge. The .38 Special is more powerful- the .357 magnum is MUCH more powerful. Neither the Special nor the magnum should be fired in a gun chambered for .38 Long Colt. This is VERY dangerous.
