Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters My Marlin 1894 44 Magnum isn't a 44 it is a 43

If you're going to get upset that the name of the cartridge isn't the exact diameter of the bullet you'll go crazy.

Consider that the 218 Bee, the 219 Zipper, the 220 Swift, the 221 Fireball, the 222 Remington, the 223 Remington, the 224 Weatherby Mag and the 225 Winchester all use the same diameter (.224) bullets.

Best to just chill.
