.500 Smith & Wesson Magnum
Overview
The .44 Remington Magnum, also known as .44 Magnum or 10.9x33mmR is a rimmed, large-bore cartridge originally designed for revolvers and quickly adopted for carbines and rifles. Famously called "the most powerful handgun [cartridge] in the world" by Clint Eastwood in Dirty Harry, the .44 Magnum has since been eclipsed in power by the .454 Casull, .480 Caning Magnum and .500 S&W Magnum; nevertheless, due in part to its more manageable recoil, it has remained one of the most popular commercial large-bore magnum cartridges
