It depends on what you mean by bigger, but the answer to the question you're probably asking is yes. A .45 caliber bullet is .45 of an inch in diameter. A .44 caliber is .44 of an inch, so it's slightly smaller in diameter. However, .44 caliber bullets are many times longer and heavier. A common weight for .45s is 200 or 220 grain, and for .44s it's usually 240 grains.

Caliber can also be defined in the metric system, measured in milimeters. The .40 caliber cartridge is equivalent to 10mm in diameter.
