44 Colt, slightly shorter than a 44 Special, slightly longer than a 44 Russian.  All use .429 or so bullets

 

I wondered when I saw the poster say 44 LC, so I looked it up.

 

All of the 44 caliber Open Top revolvers I've owned would chamber all 3, although the original .44 Colt loading used a heeled, outside lubricated bullet. The major diameter of the bullet was approximately the groove diameter (.451") of the converted ".44" cap and ball revolver. The smaller "heel" at the base of the bullet was sized to fit inside the brass case at approximately .430".
