which gun has cheaper ammo on average, somebody told me on average that 44 mag ammo is the same price or cheaper than 357 ammo i haven't done any research yet(i'm going to do some price shopping this weekend) but was just curious what everyone else's experience has been.

i think 44mgis a few dollars more on average than 357...

Generally 44mag is more expensive.

Yup. Bigger bullet, bigger bucks. At least that is the trend. Bullets are a pricy component.

Don't forget you can shoot 38 Cal. bullets with a 357 MAg.

Ya a guy can save loads of cash by shooting 38 specials out of a 357. Generally around here a box of 44 is a few bucks more.

The 44mags are definately more than the 357mags. 38's work thru a 357 and 44 specials and russians work thru a 44 mag. There is not a big market for either of these so they cost as much or more than the mags, but they are cheaper to reload.

I have both and the .44'scost a little more.

The 44 Mag is a bit more expensive but its a LOT more gun as well. If you reload, both are pretty inexpensive to shoot. There is just no reason not to reload if you enjoy shooting. Its cheap and easy to get in to.
