I have a question for you fellows.
I was considering on getting a Ruger 44mag but then I started reading about these old timer blackpowder 44's
I wanted a 44 for to hunt and protection in Montana wilderness.
I wanted to know, Can I get equal muzzle velocity or power out of a blackpowder 44 revolver as I could with a standard cartridges 44 Mag?
Lets say I have a 240-grain bullet at 700 fps with a ruger 44Mag; Can I expect to get the same standard power with an 1858 army blackpowder 44 revolver?
Or do blackpowder revolvers lack power over the modern gun cartridges?
