Re: Reloading 44Mag for a H&R Handi-Rifle
I doubt it has anything to do with the lead bullet being sized .001 smaller. At 44 mag pressures the bullet will easily be swadged up in size as soon as it hits the lands and fill the bore completely.
There was a huge difference.Engineers make things idiot proof! Evolution makes better idiots!

Re: Reloading 44Mag for a H&R Handi-Rifle
I'm not sure exactly why. But it isn't anything new.
I noticed the difference in bore/groove diameters between handguns and rifles 25-30 years ago, then looked into it. Sure enough, SAAMI had different specs and measurements.
Many rifle manufacturers use the rifle spec for throat, bore, and groove. Others do not.
Practically every handgun uses the handgun spec.(probably some exceptions there too)RIP: SFN, 1861, twoeggsup, Lambo, jamesjo, JayBell, 32 Magnum, Pro2A, mrwildroot, dregan, Frenchy, Fragger, ungawa, Mtn Jack, Grapeshot, R.W.J., PennsyPlinker, Statkowski, Deanimator, roland, aubie515

Re: Reloading 44Mag for a H&R Handi-Rifle
For the revolver cartridge single shot rifles I fell head over heels for heavy bore riding designs that maximize the amount of internal case volume that is preserved as powder space. You can't shoot them in your revolver but you're not going to get the loads mixed up either.
Here's an example for .45.
Here's one for .41.
