No, you cannot. The .38 Special can be fired out of .357 Magnum revolver (but not automatics or lever action rifles), however.
NO
No! A firearm chambered for the .38 cannot safely shoot .357 magnum ammunition. The .357 has a longer case and overall cartridge length, and a much stronger powder charge. The .357 magnum will not fit into a .38 revolver, and if it did the chamber pressure would exceed the design of the .38 and could cause catastrophic failure of the firearm, in an injurious or deadly way. However, you can shoot a .38 special round safely through a .357 magnum as they both share the same caliber bullet. The same holds true with shooting a .44 special through a .44 magnum.
In a .44 Magnum revolver, yes. In a semi-automatic .44 Magnum (such as the Desert Eagle), no.
44 magnum and 44 special.
yes.... with a 44 magnum
Yes. The 44 magnum can fire 44 special ammo in the same way a .357 magnum can use .38 Special.
The 44 Magnum made by S&W acutally uses a .429 diameter bullet. I am unaware of any .44 diameter bullet loaded in a round called "44 Magnum"
If the Anaconda is a .44 Magnum, yes, you can shoot .44 Special in it all day. Also .44 S&W American and .44 Russian if you are of a mind.
The term magnum was first used with the .357 Smith & Wesson Magnum (to use the entire name) to designate a cartridge that had higher energy than the parent catridge it was develoepd from. In the case of the .357, the parent was .38 Special. In the case of the .44 magnum, parent was .44 Special. A magnum is a bottle of champagne that is larger than a standard bottle, and the word was borrowed by the firearms world.
Yes, .44 Russian and .44 Special can be fired safely from a .44 Magnum revolver. They are the same diameter, shorter, with less power. Also darned hard to find and expensive.
.44 Long? Check your cartridge again. As for your question, whatever you have, I'm almost 100% certain it won't be compatible with a .44 Magnum firearm. The only cartridge backwards compatible with the .44 Magnum is the .44 Special, and even that has limitations. .44 Special can be fired in a .44 Magnum revolver, but you need to check with the manufacturer before attempting this with a rifle, as the rifle will have a headspaced chamber.
I'm not aware of a .45 Magnum. There is a .44 Magnum. The 44 magnum is typically a revolver round, very high power. The 45 ACP is typically used in semi-automatic pistols. The 45 ACP is not as powerful compared to the 44 magnum (mostly due to the amount of propellant in the 44 magnum compared to the 45 acp).
