In addition to beating the ballistics of the old .44-40 rifle loads, long considered a top deer cartridge, [5] the heavy, flat-point bullets typically used in the .44 Magnum have an additional advantage. Tests performed where bullets are shot through light cover, intended to represent twigs and brush, have shown that the high-velocity ...
The most well-known is the .44 Magnum which uses a 0.429 to 0.430 inch diameter bullet, depending on jacket or cast. Though less common than the smaller .38 caliber family of cartridges, the caliber is popular with many shooters and the .44 Magnum in particular facilitated the rise of handgun hunting. Its role as the most powerful handgun ...
The .44-40 Winchester, also known as .44 Winchester, .44 WCF (Winchester Center Fire), and .44 Largo (in Spanish-speaking countries), was introduced in 1873 by the Winchester Repeating Arms Company. It was the first metallic centerfire cartridge manufactured by Winchester, and was promoted as the standard chambering for the new Winchester Model ...
Unfortunately, the ballistics of the new cartridge merely duplicated the 246-grain (15.9 g) bullet at 755 ft/s (230 m/s) statistics of the .44 Russian, when the powder capacity of its case would have supported performance rivaling that of the .45 Colt and close to the .44-40.
Muzzle velocity. 1600–1800 ft/s (487–548 m/s) Feed system. 7-round single-column box magazine. Sights. Adjustable target sights. The .44 Auto Mag pistol ( AMP) is a large caliber semi-automatic pistol. It was designed between 1966 and 1971 by the Auto Mag Corporation to make a semi-automatic pistol chambered in .44 AMP.
Even so, it still achieved a ballistic coefficient of only 0.153, which reflects very poor long range capabilities; the .44 Henry is a large and slow bullet, giving poor external ballistics and a great deal of ballistic drop during its trajectory, making hitting a target past 200 yards almost impossible for the average shooter.

Overall length. 1.6 in (41 mm) Case capacity. 28.5 gr H 2 O (1.85 cm 3) Primer type. Large pistol. The .44 Auto Magnum Pistol (AMP) is a large-caliber, semi-automatic pistol cartridge developed in 1971 by Harry Sanford. [ 2] The primary use is in the Auto Mag Pistol. [ 3] The cartridge was also employed in the Wildey automatic pistol, including ...
Design. The .429 DE is a .50 AE case that is necked down to accept .429-diameter (10.9mm) bullets used in the .44 Magnum. The cartridge features a 25% increase in velocity and 45% increase of energy over a standard 240-grain .44 Magnum load of 1,285 ft⋅lbf (1,742 J) at 100 yd (91 m). [ 2] The .429 DE offers increased speed and accuracy over ...
