The price of .44 magnum ammunition as of April 2011 in the United States is about $35 per box of 50 rounds, or 70 cents per shot.
That is for ordinary multi-purpose ammunition. High performance ammunition that is unusually heavy (250-320 grains) or loaded to extreme velocities or using a very expensive high-performance hollowpoint bullet will cost more. Those kinds of rounds might cost $40 for a box of 20, or 2 dollars per shot.
NO
The 44 Magnum made by S&W acutally uses a .429 diameter bullet. I am unaware of any .44 diameter bullet loaded in a round called "44 Magnum"
How much does a astra 44 magnum ctg cost
I'm not aware of a .45 Magnum. There is a .44 Magnum. The 44 magnum is typically a revolver round, very high power. The 45 ACP is typically used in semi-automatic pistols. The 45 ACP is not as powerful compared to the 44 magnum (mostly due to the amount of propellant in the 44 magnum compared to the 45 acp).
No. The 44 Magnum cartridge is too long to fit a .44 Special firearm- and it is loaded much hotter than the .44 Special- unsafe to attempt. .44 Special CAN be safely fired from a .44 Magnum firearm, but not vice versa.
.44 Magnum
A 44 magnum is just the new and improved version of the 44 special which the special is a 44 caliber. Magnum just means bigger so the 44 magnum is pretty much in between 44 and 45 cal. However, if you mean size, .45 is slightly larger in diamater than .44.
.50 - 5 USD depending on the load
No, you cannot. The .38 Special can be fired out of .357 Magnum revolver (but not automatics or lever action rifles), however.
No one currently, though the M1 Carbine has the equivilant power of a .357 Magnum, and that's a semi-automatic. The .44 magnum is in an entirely different class than the .357 magnum or the .30 M1 Carbine rounds (not at all the same as the MI rife 30-06 round). I'd look for a used Ruger...preferring the "Deerstalker" style to the model 99/44 "Deerfield" carbines...because though the Deerfieds are newer, they simply are not made as well as the old Bill Ruger .44 carbines. I have had to trail far too many deer crippled by the .357 magnum, to have much respect for it as a hunting round. Deer hit with a stout .44 mangum round, do not usually go very far. I have gotten dozens of deer with the .44 magnum (pistol and Rifle), and it simply is a great performer on deer.
In a .44 Magnum revolver, yes. In a semi-automatic .44 Magnum (such as the Desert Eagle), no.
