LAR Grizzly magazines? They were designed for the rimless cases of .45 Win Mag? Likewise, why not the .45 Win Mag as opposed to the .44AMP? Cased based on the .45ACP, so could a .308 bolt face not be used? The Win Mag has factory brass available for it as well and even half a dozen factory loads from Winchester and Corbon...
In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?

What's the real difference between the 44 Auto Mag and the .444?

Triple 4 is about 1000fps faster!!

Triple 4 is basically a elongated .44 Remington Magnum, designed fir lever guns, namely a Marlin. The .44 Auto Mag was a cut down .308 case with a .429 bullet, designed to replicate the .44 Remington Magnum, but in a semi automatic pistol, namely the Auto Mag, as made by many manufacturers.
