A rimmed, brass, straight case, Berdan or Boxer primed, and sometimes with a bullet-stop cannelure in the case. Developed in 1871, in order to improve the accuracy of the Smith & Wesson 0.44 revolver, for the Russian government. It became renowned for its accuracy and power and was placed on the commercial market in 1878. The bullet is usually flat-tipped or round-nosed lead, but FMJ, spherical ball and birdshot have been used in the past. Although technically obsolete, the 0.44 S&W Russian may be safely fired in
any revolver chambered either for 0.44 Special or 0.44 Magnum. Due to its light recoil, it is well suited as a practice load for either of the more powerful calibres. The cartridge has recently achieved popularity in North America for use in cowboy action-shooting competitions. Applications include suitably chambered revolvers.
