This is an incredibly accurate, full-power .44 Magnum, lead-free load. The long-for-weight all-copper bullet uses up the limited powder capacity of the case and prevents us from driving the bullet any faster than we currently do.
This .44 Magnum load performs well and provides adequate penetration for hunting big game species up to approximately 350 lbs. Due to the relatively light bullet weight, this load produces only moderate recoil.
Buffalo Bore always uses real, over-the-counter firearms to develop published velocities. We believe the longstanding industry-wide practice of using extra-long laboratory barrels to achieve exaggerated published velocities is misleading, as customers cannot replicate those velocities in real-world conditions. Below are our real-world velocity measurements:
- 1,676 fps – Marlin 1894, 18-inch barrel
- 1,475 fps – Ruger Super Blackhawk, 5.5-inch barrel
- 1,399 fps – S&W MT Gun, 4-inch barrel
