This video from Brownells Gun Tech™ Steve Ostrem provides a quick compare-and-contrast between the .44 Magnum and .45 Long Colt revolver cartridges. It highlights the historical context of the .45 LC's low-pressure design due to weaker early steel, contrasting it with the .44 Magnum's development for hunting with modern, stronger firearm steels. The discussion touches on factory ammunition availability, with .44 Magnum generally being easier to find in full-power loads. It also emphasizes the potential for handloaders with modern strong revolvers to achieve or exceed .44 Magnum pressures with .45 LC by loading 'hot.' Both cartridges are noted as excellent for handloading due to their straight-wall cases, readily available components, and compatibility with various powders and bullet weights. For non-handloaders seeking a hunting revolver, the .44 Magnum is recommended.
