[QUOTE="Hunter 257W, post: 5068510, member: 12277"] I would chose the 44 Magnum since I have multiple Colt SAA clones chambered for the 45 Colt. 45 Colt loads that the Blackhawk could easily digest would be dangerous in the Colts and I don't want to risk getting the ammo crossed up and in the wrong gun. If it wasn't for that, I'd go with the 45 Colt for sure. For a handloader the 45 Colt is superior because it can be loaded with heavier bullets and has a larger bore and more energy and penetration potential compared to the 44 Magnum. One great easily available bullet is the RCBS 45-270-SAA which drops from the mold around 280 grains. The 45 Colt can push that to 1,100 ft/sec without even trying and it's a thumper. [/QUOTE]
