Yes- BUT- in an autoloader, they may not cycle the action. In a lever action, they may not feed properly (too short). In ANY rifle, be certain to clean the chamber well after shooting- you will get a buildup of carbon in front of the case mouth that can make chambering Magnums hard if you don't. Also, if you have a gas operated auto, like the Ruger, remember that Ruger recommends you NOT shoot unjacketed lead bullets (gas port fouling)

Can you shoot 44 long in a 44 magnum rifle or any 44 magnum bullets?

.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.

Can 44 magnum be use in 44 special pistol?

No. The 44 Magnum cartridge is too long to fit a .44 Special firearm- and it is loaded much hotter than the .44 Special- unsafe to attempt. .44 Special CAN be safely fired from a .44 Magnum firearm, but not vice versa.

Can you shoot a 44 special round in a 44 mag pistol?

Yes. The 44 special is a bit shorter than the 44 magnum, so it will fit in the cylinder of the 44 mag. The reverse won't work, however. A 44 mag cannot be fired in a revolver chambered for the 44 special because the 44 mag is too long and won't fit in the cylinder of the 44 special.
