Buffalo Bore 44 Remington Magnum +P+ ammo seats a 340 grain flat nose projectile over a high-pressure powder charge that reaches 1478 feet per second from a 7.5-inch barrel and delivers 1649 foot-pounds of muzzle energy. This load is engineered for hunters working heavy game at handgun distances — boar, black bear, elk at close range — where deep penetration through muscle and bone determines success. The +P+ designation signals pressure exceeding standard 44 Magnum SAAMI limits, and this ammunition is approved only for specific heavy-frame revolvers and single-shot rifles built to handle the increased chamber pressure.
Load Profile
Buffalo Bore loads to maximum SAAMI specifications for the cartridge designation, maintaining lot-to-lot consistency in velocity and pressure. The 340 grain flat nose bullet presents a wide meplat that shears tissue and crushes bone without expanding, producing straight-line wound channels through dense hide and heavy skeletal structure. Boxer primers seat in reloadable brass cases with nickel-plated finish for corrosion resistance in humid field conditions. Note that due to brass supply constraints, headstamps may read “44 Remington Magnum” without the +P+ suffix — the load remains the same high-pressure specification regardless of headstamp marking.
