I went to a store today that sells used brass. I picked up a bag labeled ".44 Magnum" and noticed that one of the pieces looked different. It was labeled "44W". I brought it to the store attendants attention and he said that the piece of brass in question was different looking but still a .44 magnum casing.
I asked for a different bag and apologized for my paranoia.
I get home with the new bag and lo and behold the other bag has some pieces of 44W in it. I google it and learn that 44W means .44 Winchester. Not to mention some casings in the bag are clearly labeled "44 SPL". I bought this brass specifically to load near maximum .44 magnum loads using H110 and magnum primers.
Should I try to return the brass or is this a non issue? If I had even known that they consider .44 special to be equal to .44 magnum I wouldn't have even bought it in the first place.
