For revolver shooters who need terminal performance without compromise, the Black Hills 44 Remington Magnum 240 grain Jacketed Hollow Point delivers energy and accuracy in a package trusted by all branches of the U.S. military. A 44 Remington Magnum is a rimmed, large-bore revolver cartridge introduced in 1955, designed for hunting, defense, and silhouette competition. This load runs 1260 feet per second at the muzzle and generates 848 foot-pounds of energy, giving you flat trajectory inside 50 yards and dependable expansion on target. Black Hills produces factory-new ammunition equal to the best handloads, using non-corrosive boxer primers and reloadable brass cases.
Performance at a Glance
The 240 grain jacketed hollow point sits at the heavier end of the 44 Magnum spectrum, balancing penetration with controlled expansion. At 1260 fps, you see manageable recoil in a full-size revolver while retaining enough velocity for reliable cavity formation in soft tissue. Brass cases are boxer-primed and reloadable, so you can reclaim your investment after the first firing. Black Hills ammunition is used by competitive shooters and hunters who demand consistent performance across temperature swings and extended storage.
