A magnum round is typically more powerful than a standard round due to its larger case capacity, which allows for the use of more gunpowder. This increased powder charge generates higher pressure and velocity when fired, resulting in greater energy and a more forceful projectile. Additionally, magnum rounds often utilize heavier bullets, enhancing their stopping power and effectiveness for hunting or self-defense scenarios. Ultimately, the combination of increased powder and bullet weight contributes to their enhanced performance.
The .460 S&W Magnum is generally more powerful than the .44 Magnum. The .460 has a larger case capacity and can fire heavier bullets at higher velocities, resulting in greater energy and stopping power. While the .44 Magnum is a formidable round, the .460 is designed for larger game and more extreme conditions, making it the more powerful option overall.
.44 Magnum
The .500 S&W magnum is the most powerful handgun round commercially available.
your kidding right?A .41mag is more powerful then a .357mag. But less powerful then a .44mag.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.41_Remington_Magnum
I'd imagine that at closer ranges (like 50 yards or closer) the .44 Magnum is much more powerful. But it is a handgun round, which loses power fairly quickly. The M-16 shoots a small diameter bullet (.223) but is accurate and more powerful at a longer distance.
A 44 magnum is more powerful than a 45calibur
Magnum simply means a more powerful cartridge. Some shotguns fire magnum cartridges. You need to define the "Magnum" you are trying to compare with a shotgun.
.357 Magnum.
.357 Magnum. You can tell just by the recoil of the firearm.
.357 magnum Actually, a more correct answer is, MOST 357 is more powerful and MOST 45, but there are a couple of exceptions, if you are talking about muzzle energy.
The .357 Magnum is more powerful, all day long.
No. .38 Long Colt was the forerunner to .38 Special- and was originally a black powder cartridge. The .38 Special is more powerful- the .357 magnum is MUCH more powerful. Neither the Special nor the magnum should be fired in a gun chambered for .38 Long Colt. This is VERY dangerous.
