    The problem with 44 magnum rounds is they .429-.430 and they can cause excessive pressure in older 44-40s that tend to be .427. You must slug your barrel. 44-40s vary greatly in barrel diameter and you need projectiles that are 1-2 thou greater than your barrel. Jacketed bullets make this even more crucial.
