Shot 41 Mag in a 44 Mag Revolver. Kind of hard on the brass. No ill effects on revolver.
I bought a late 1950s Winchester 1894 carbine in .32 Win. Special from a friend. It came with a bag of 50 rounds or so of fairly old ammo.
One round sounded off when I shot it. Sure enough, the head stamp was .30-30.
Oh well, no harm done.
I would hope that the reverse would not be possible though!
It's also quite possible to fire .44 magnum in a .45 Colt revolver or rifle, and they do look alike.
Two pages and no pic's.

Kids, don't do this at home!
The ENEMY is listening.
HE wants to know what YOU know.
Keep it to yourself.
hehehehehe
Two shots... 1st shot had a failure to eject... completely...shook gun and bulged case fell to ground (bullet hit target just out just out of scoring ring down 1 point) I racked slide & fired 2nd round. A boom sounded and bullet came out & hit target (down 3 pts this shot) case split the entire length. No damage to gun but the 40 and 45 reloads had the same TC bullet design and looked so similar. Upon examination I had 8 more 40 rds I had emptied from a 40 mag and dumped into my 45 bag for the match a few days earlier.....Never can be careful enough. afish4570
