Questions about an individual caliber's velocity can be difficult to answer.
Velocity is affected by many factors, one of which is bullet weight; and any given caliber is usually available with a few options in this regard.
Another factor is the length of the barrel from which the gun is being fired. Deliberately over-simplifying the concept, the longer the barrel, the higher velocity up until you reach the threshold where all powder has been burned before the bullet's exit from the muzzle.
That said, for a .44 Magnum one can expect anywhere from 900/fps in certain snub-nose models using heavy bullets, up to 1900/fps with a load optimized to make speed the only priority.
A realistic average is could be pegged around 1,300 feet per second.

What is the velocity of a 180 grain bullet coming out of a .44 magnum if there are 20 in a barrel?
The velocity will vary depending on the load of the cartridge. Factory loaded 250 grain .44 magnums are rated at 1760 fps from a Marlin lever action rifle with a 20 inch bbl. I would expect another 100 fps from a lighter, 180 gr bullet. Your best answer may come from Marlin- 1-800-544-8892 is Customer Service.
