There's the .44 S&W Special and the .44 Remington Magnum cartridges.
The .44 Remington Magnum is a lengthened .44 S&W Special cartridge case. The .44 S&W Special is a lengthened .44 Russian. The .44 Remington Magnum bullet has a diameter of .429".

Since the .44 Remington has a bore of .450 you will have to use hollow base bullets. The .45 Colt is a better choice.

I see the listing but don't understand the designation. It is not on the Kirst site. I'd call B.A. and ask Mr Gullo.
