.44 Magnum is the more powerful cartridge.
44
Yes. The 44 special is a bit shorter than the 44 magnum, so it will fit in the cylinder of the 44 mag. The reverse won't work, however. A 44 mag cannot be fired in a revolver chambered for the 44 special because the 44 mag is too long and won't fit in the cylinder of the 44 special.
Depends on which 50 cal you are referring to. -Im talking about handguns the desert eagle to be exact. I know a Barret .50cal is more powerfull than any .44mag because it is a rifle.
44 magnum and 44 special.
Both are the same diameter but the case for the.44 Special. is 1.160 inches long while the .44 mag. case is 1.285 inches long. so, the shorter .44 Special will fit into the .44 mag chamber but not the other way around. It is exactly the same as with the .357 mag. and the .38 Special
44 special and 44 magnum only
No, you can not. The 44 Special can be fired in any firearm chambered and marked for the 44 Magnum cartridge. The 444 Marlin is a rifle cartridge (much longer than either the 44 Spl or 44 Mag), and is much more powerful. The 44 Spl and 44 Mag. were designed as handgun cartridges, but have been adapted to a small number of lever-action carbines. Bert H.
NO. 44mag is much larger than the 44spec. You can however fire 44 special in 44mag.
your colt is of modern manufacture period. it will take the 44 mag. cartridge 'IF' the barrel has 44 mag. written on it. Or, it could be a 44 special, also written, whereby you cannot use 44 Mag. cartridge. However, if it is a 44 mag. cartridge, then you can shoot modern 44 mag. cartridges OR 44 special cartridges............
It may not feed well, but can be shot.
.429 INCHES A 38 SPECIAL IS .357....
Yes, and it is more comfortable to shoot than .44 Mag. Clean the cylinder chambers well after shooting to prevent carbon buildup ahead of the cartridges.
