/k/ I inherited a Ruger .44 Super Blackhawk. Over the years my family has bought me ammo for it. They weren't too familiar with the proper ammo, so I have a few boxes of W-W Super .44 REM MAGs, CBC REM MAGs, and FC REM MAGs.
Can these be safely fired?
I don't wanna ruin my only inheritance from my grandpa. Yes I know that standard .44 REM MAGs can be safely fired.

getting the wrong ammo, you should trying asking for .300 savage. Ive gotten everything from 30-06 to .300 blackout.

So can I use them or not? I have plenty of standard .44 REM Mags.

Don't listen to this shit.
Yes, OP, you're safe firing that ammo. You're also safe firing 44 SPL (44 special) ammo. 44 SPL is the same caliber but isn't as powerful as the 44 magnum.
The CBC and FC are the different ammo manufacturers. Honestly, OP, I would throw away all of that CBC ammo. It is more commonly known as Magtech. Google Magtech ammo and you will find a lot of it is made in Brazil which is total shit tier.
The FC means Federal Cartridge Company and that shit is just fine.

It's me again.... you mentioned the CBC REM MAG and FC REM MAG.... are those the only markings? Do you have the ammo boxes? Take pics. The bottom of the ammunition casings should say 44 REM MAG or 44 MAG on them if they are indeed 44 magnum rounds
Left to right: CBC, W-W Super, and FC. I tossed the cardboard boxes and put them in an ammo box.

Yes you can shoot them. Throw the CBC shit away. Shoot them at your own risk.

Is it really that bad? I mean they were free. I wouldn't use them in self defense situations, but are they not ok as target rounds?
