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 muzzle velocity for 44 magnum ammo?
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.
Can you shoot a 44 special bullet from a 45 caliber gun?
No.
How big is a 44 cal bullet?
A .44 caliber bullet typically has a diameter of approximately 0.429 inches (10.9 mm). This measurement refers to the bullet's width, while the overall length and weight can vary depending on the specific type of .44 caliber cartridge, such as the .44 Magnum or .44 Special. The .44 Magnum, for example, generally has a bullet weight ranging from 180 to 300 grains.
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.
Can you fire a 44 caliber handgun with a 45 bullet?
In most circumstances, no. The bullet is too large to chamber in the handgun.
What has more stopping power a 44 cal or a 45 cal?
The stopping power of a caliber depends on various factors, including bullet weight, velocity, and design. Generally, the .45 caliber (typically a .45 ACP) is known for delivering a larger and heavier bullet, which can result in greater stopping power due to its mass and diameter. The .44 caliber, often referring to the .44 Magnum, can achieve higher velocities and energy levels, making it formidable in terms of stopping power as well. Ultimately, the effectiveness of either caliber will vary based on the specific load and the context in which it is used.
Is it possible to die painless?
Yes. For example, if you are shot with a .44 caliber bullet in the no-reflex zone in your face, you will die instantly. The same thing goes with any caliber bigger than .44.
What is the difference between caliber and magnum?
Caliber refers to the size of the bullet in the cartridge, or the size of bullet the gun is designed to fire. Magnum refers to a cartridge with a higher level of pressure/powder than another one similar to it. For example: a .44 magnum has a longer casing and more powder than a .44 special.
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.
What is the smallest centerfire rifle bullet caliber?
Don't know if it's made anymore, but it would probably be the .17/44 - a .17 projectile in a necked down .44 Magnum casing.
