What is the difference between 45 magnum and 45 acp ammunition?

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).

Who makes a semi automatic 44 mag rifle?

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.


What is a magnum round?

The term magnum was first used with the .357 Smith & Wesson Magnum (to use the entire name) to designate a cartridge that had higher energy than the parent catridge it was develoepd from. In the case of the .357, the parent was .38 Special. In the case of the .44 magnum, parent was .44 Special. A magnum is a bottle of champagne that is larger than a standard bottle, and the word was borrowed by the firearms world.
