No one answer. There are dozens of different .44 caliber cartridges, and hundreds of different loadings of those cartridges. A rifle will have a different velocity than a handgun. This is sort of like "how fast can a V8 car go?"

What is the muzzle velocity of a .44 in a rifle?

Depends on WHICH .44 cartridge, barrel length, bullet weight and powder load used- a lot of variables. A 225 grain .44 magnum fired from a 20 inch barreled rifle is about 1,870 fps.


Would a 22 cal gun fired in outer space have as much muzzel volosity as a 44 cal gun fired on earth?

NO. The .22 Muzzle Velocity (ft/s) is 1255. The .44 Muzzle Velocity (ft/s) is 1760. The 44 is 505 ft/s faster than the 22. The amount if air to be pushed out the barrel of 22 would not slow down the bullet down that much.

What is the difference between caliber and magnum?

Caliber refers to the diameter of a bullet or projectile, typically measured in inches or millimeters. Magnum refers to a specific type of cartridge that is longer and more powerful than standard cartridges of the same caliber. In simpler terms, magnum cartridges are designed to have more power and higher velocity compared to their non-magnum counterparts.


Is a 45 caliber bigger than a 44 caliber?

It depends on what you mean by bigger, but the answer to the question you're probably asking is yes. A .45 caliber bullet is .45 of an inch in diameter. A .44 caliber is .44 of an inch, so it's slightly smaller in diameter. However, .44 caliber bullets are many times longer and heavier. A common weight for .45s is 200 or 220 grain, and for .44s it's usually 240 grains.

How many grain of powder do you use in a 44 Winchester pistol?

We can't answer for a couple of reasons. Winchester does not make 44 pistols. Any load data is based on exact caliber (there is more than one 44 caliber) the bullet weight and type, and the type of powder used (there are dozens of different powders)
