    Are the 44mag longer in OAL than a standard 44mag round or is it functional in lever action rifles?

    I have purchased BB 305gr 44mag and it doesn't feed properly as it is too long.

    Probably revolver ammo to feed a Redhawk...levers and "Smiths" need not apply.

    I have all 3. LOL!

    Unfortunately, in our country, hard cast or "Bear" ammo is only legally usefull out of rifles, and in these calibers, that's largely lever actions.

    Smiths (more so the later models) would probably do just fine with that load assuming you are not shooting 1000s of rounds like dirtybarry. Those loads are not like the nuclear Buffalo bores loads.

    Hey Kate, just a heads-up. The 45 Colt specs say 20 rounds per box. I'm assuming that's a typo.

    We do have requests from people who can legally carry sidearms for wilderness protection. Other people just want to try out something different at the range

    I will get some calipers and get you an answer - HSM's website doesn't say.
