Description
The .44 Round, Magnum is the second rarest small guns ammunition found in the game, just slightly more common than the .308 Caliber Round used by the Sniper Rifle. Very few enemies carry weapons that use this ammunition, and as such it is virtually never found on bodies and must be either purchased or looted from stockpiles, where it is equally uncommon. This means that while the damage is high and the accuracy is above average (especially Lincoln's Repeater), the scarcity of ammunition renders the weapons far less useful overall.

Players who intend to make use of weapons chambered for .44 Magnum rounds would be well-behooved to take the Scrounger perk as soon as it is available. With this perk, although .44 Magnum ammunition remains less common than 10mm or .32 caliber ammunition, significant caches can be found, drastically improving the usefulness of those powerful weapons. Several merchants will frequently have large quantities of .44 magnum ammo in stock (10, 15, even 20+): Flak 'n Shrapnel's in Rivet City, Sydney after completion with her as a companion in the Stealing Independence quest, Lucky Harith, the Caravan Merchant dealing in weapons (after merchandise upgrades at Canterbury Commons), and Smiling Jack in Evergreen Mills.

The .44 Round, Magnum appears in Fallout and Fallout 2 as .44 Magnum.
