Example: a .50 caliber is 1/2 of an inch. Lets jus say a "1.00 caliber is a inch.
.44 = .44 of an inch or 44/100 of an inch.
Actually it is pretty well meaningless...the .44 magnum is .429 inches and the Ruger Old Army shoots .454 caliber bullets, and yet each is referred to as .44 caliber.So while the .44 in .44 magnum should indicate diameter, in actual point of fact, it does not.

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.

As long as both the rifle and the revolver are chambered in .44 magnum you can use the same ammunition for both. I have a Henry rifle in .44 mag and a Ruger redhawk .44 mag and I use the same ammo for both. That's one of the nice things about that caliber.
