Old shotgun & muzzle loader hunter. Bought a new .44 Mag revolver. Can someone tell me the difference between .44 Magnum & .44 Remington Magnum?

same thing

Yep.

Thanks fellas, sorry for the stupid questions. I'm new at this.

Nothing stupid about your question.

nope, just get shooting and have some fun. enjoy!

Everybody else has asked that question.

not a silly question at all. we all have to learn...i know i have alot to figure out:)

Or waited until someone else did ;-)

very true.

Welcome to handgunning. you will enjoy!

Ask all the questions you want.

Welcome Aboard!!

What type of 44 did you get???

welcome, we're always happy to hear from new folks. and when it comes to your question, you would be surprised at how many simple questions like that turn out to have rather complicated answers, how many times there are more than one correct way to answer it depending on the situation. most of all when you're not really sure, ask and then ponder your new found wealth of information. I'm going thru that with black powder substitutes, they are all different and sort of the same, and real dam confusing, but I don't really want to blow up a perfectly fine handgun..

Welcome to the forum. Definately want to hear about your 44 mag revolver.

magnut,

Welcome to HHM. The 44 magnum was a joint development between Remington and Smith and Wesson, hence 44 Remington Magnum. Elmer Keith prompted and provided data to both for years to encourage them to develop the round. the only "dumb" question, is the one that is not asked! We're here to share our knowledge and experience AND have a good time doin' it.

Doc

I bought a Ruger new model super blackhawk hunter .44 mag. It was listed in a back issue of Field and Stream Magazine as one of the top 25 hand guns for hunting. I already have two Rugers,
( SR9 9mm ) and ( LCP 380 ) and like them a lot. Not to mention my trusty old 10-22 my dad gave me when I was a kid. Its nice to see quality in an American made product.

Put a set of Wolff springs in it or have an action job done on it and it will be even better and if you do you'll wonder why you didn't do it sooner. The springs are about 15.00 or a full action job with springs and stoning the sear engagement I get 75.00 for but I'm not sure what everyone else is at anymore.

I too have a SBHH but it is a Bisley. Would I get the same Wolff springs?

great gun, get some practice and hunt something. i have some darn nice rifles but they see very little action anymore. most everything is taken with a pistol. we need new pistol hunters. welcome!

The bisley guns use the same springs as the hogleg version.

I just had a conversation about this with a friend and I have sold off nearly all of my rifles. I just don't use them anymore, and frankly I don't miss them.

Ditto. The only rifle I have left is the very first rifle that I bought with my own money @ 16 yrs of age. I will keep that one forever, otherwise it is all shortguns. Although some are longer than others ;-)

Like the rest have said...Welcome to the Handgunning World, hold on its an Addiction that will take up all your time and Money...
Good Luck and let's hear about your range time!!

i keep rifles, just not for dealing with animals, well not human animals.
