I voted 44-40. I guess I'm with the majority on this. But my reasons were simple. The semi bottle necked case works much better for sealing the chamber with lower pressure loads than does a straight walled case. And I prefer calibers what start with the number "4". Joe Plus, any bottle ne...

The .357 seems to bring more dough than the .44 mag. Less recoil plus cheaper factory ammo I assume. The nicer ones seem to be in the $800-$900.00 range. Good luck in your search. 1886.
