For revolver shooters running 44 Magnum platforms at volume, the Magtech 240 grain Full Metal Jacket load balances terminal consistency with barrel-friendly construction. Launched at 1180 feet per second with 742 foot-pounds of muzzle energy, this round seats a copper-jacketed 240 grain projectile atop a boxer-primed brass case — a combination that punches steel, cycles single-action wheelguns without excessive recoil impulse, and leaves cases intact for handloaders chasing tailored velocity nodes. Magtech manufactures primers, powder charges, bullets, and cases in-house at its Brazilian facility, maintaining lot-to-lot uniformity across production runs that span decades.

The full metal jacket design eliminates exposed lead at the nose, reducing fouling accumulation in forcing cones and rifling grooves during high-round-count sessions. Brass cases eject cleanly from swing-out cylinders and hold primer pockets through multiple firings when resized to SAAMI spec. Non-corrosive boxer primers simplify cleanup and extend barrel life when shooters stretch range days across consecutive weekends.

Safe Handling & Compliance
Federal law requires purchasers to be at least 18 years old for rifle and shotgun ammunition, and at least 21 for handgun ammunition. Ammunition cannot be shipped to certain states, counties, and cities — review our ammunition shipping restrictions before ordering. Store ammunition in a cool, dry location away from heat sources and out of reach of unauthorized users.
- Observe the four universal firearm safety rules at all times — treat every firearm as loaded, keep muzzle pointed in a safe direction, finger off trigger until ready to fire, and identify your target and what lies beyond it.
- Verify state and local ammunition purchase, possession, and storage laws before ordering — some jurisdictions restrict handgun ammunition sales or impose additional permit requirements.
- This ammunition contains lead components. Proposition 65 warning applies in California. Wash hands after handling ammunition and avoid eating or smoking during range sessions to minimize lead exposure.
