We're being told a 44-100 cartridge would have had 100 grains of black powder. While some cartridges were designated this way (45-70 for example) that was certainly not universal. The style of designation (44-100, 32-10, et al) predates the metallic cartridge and simply refers to the approximate diameter (44/100 or 44 one hundredths of an inch) and says nothing of the charge weight.
