I have in the past, but I don't any more.
They keep the .44 ammo with the handgun ammo. Just ask where to find the handgun ammo and you will see the options available. All of the gun stores should have some .44 ammo available seeing as it's still a pretty popular round.

Look at, cheaper than dirt, or sportsman guide, or midway usa, or cabelas, and get the hornady 44 mag 225 grain FTX leverevolution ammo.
Quite from Hornady website,

Quite from Hornady website,
LEVERevolution is the most exciting thing to ever happen to lever gun ammunition. Hornady, the leader in ballistic technology, brings you an innovation in ammunition performance featuring state of the industry elastomer Flex Tip Technology that is SAFE in your tubular magazine. Its higher ballistic coefficient delivers dramatically flatter trajectories for fantastic downrange energy increases and amazing bullet expansion at all ranges. It truly is an evolution in lever gun ammunition!

Uses standard 44 mag. ammo. Cost of quality hunting ammo is about $2.00-$2.50/round. Plinker stuff about half that. In my opinion, max range is about 75-100 yards. Typical ballistics: 3" high at 50 yards = about 0 at 100. Only have experience with one of these. It was not an accurate rifle for whatever reason. About 4 MOA rifle.

Here is the page on cheaperthandirt.coms website.
I can buy that ammo cheaper at my local Scheels once you add in shipping. Not much cheaper, but if I buy it there, they keep it on hand so I don't have to wait to get it. A win win situation for me.
