This video compares the .44 Magnum and .45 Long Colt revolver cartridges. While the .44 Magnum offers readily available full-power factory loads ideal for hunting, the .45 Long Colt, though historically limited by firearm design, can achieve higher energy levels with modern strong actions and handloading. Both are straight-walled and easy to handload, but factory .45 Colt loads are often cowboy-style.
