.44 Mag revolver experience/owners?

Actually in the Dirty Harry movie I believe he says that he loads "a light 44 Special load". Which means he might as well have been shooting a 45ACP ? But maybe that's just his "combat target load".
 
yeah I meant that the RUGER SUPER BLACKHAWK fires 454 casull and 45 colt. No guns chambered for 45 colt can fire a 454 casull. Also only the super blackhawk and other modern heavy duty guns can fire the hot 45 colt loads. The old guns could only handle very weak loads and that is why most ammo companies don't make hot loads for 45 colt.

I have read that the powder will build up in the chamber when shooting 45 colt . If you then switch to 454 casull and don't clean the chamber you could have pressure spike problems cuz the 454 case cannot expand. It just might blow your hand off. So make sure you clean it when switching between 45 colt and 454 casull.
