100yds.0 & 820 FPE.0 & 840 FPE.0 & 700 FPE.0 & 700 FPEĪs you can see there is a little difference, with a slight edge to the 44 Mag, but there is not a 22LR worth of difference between the 2 in terms of FPE, less than 1" in trajectory, and approximately 100 FPS difference in velocity. The 44 Mag vs the 45 LC stacks up like this with a 100yd zero(I am using ballpark figures out of common reloading data books here, not my personal load data which may be a tad hotter): The 45 Colt can be loaded up to 1,450-1,500 FPS range with 250gr bullets and 1,200 FPS with 300gr bullets. The 44 Mag can be loaded up to around the 1,500-1,550 FPS range with 240gr bullets and in the 1,300 FPS range with 300gr bullets. For a somewhat apple to apple comparison, I will use the 44 cal (.429") 240gr and the 45 cal (.452") 250gr Hornady XTP, since that is a popular bullet for handloads and factory ammo.
