A magnum cartridge is one where the case has been elongated to provide more room for powder, thus more power. The diameter of the bullett will be the same, or close enough, but the extra length increases the combustion. Usually, the cases have thicker walls to control the higher pressure explosion. Also, the cylinders and barrels of the corresponding weapon may me beefed up also to handle the added pressure and velocity.
