What are you calling a .44 Lightening? AFAIK there was no cartridge by that name
Just trying to inject some humor here. FYI, yes, there was a cartridge called the 44 Colt Lightning. And a 44 Game Getter. And a 44 Marlin. Probably others, as well. They were all variations of the 44 WCF, or 44-40 as Colt called it, with different bullet weights or just different names for manufacturers who did not want to put Winchester's name on their guns. So, 44-40.
