Brownells Gun Tech™ Steve Ostrem provides an in-depth overview of the .44 Magnum cartridge, tracing its origins to Elmer Keith's quest for a more powerful handgun round. The video details the collaboration between Smith & Wesson and Remington to introduce the cartridge in 1956, and the subsequent adoption by Ruger. It also highlights the cartridge's suitability for lever-action rifles from manufacturers like Winchester, Marlin, and Henry Repeating Arms. The iconic Dirty Harry movie and Clint Eastwood's S&W Model 29 are credited with bringing the .44 Magnum to mainstream public awareness, solidifying its legendary status as a robust and versatile "shooter's" cartridge.
