Product Overview
Sellier & Bellot .44 Rem Mag 240 grain ammo is manufactured in the Czech Republic by one of the world’s most established ammunition producers. Designed for handgun hunters and big-bore shooters seeking proven terminal performance at a fair price, this load features a traditional 240-grain Soft Point (SP) bullet engineered for predictable expansion and maximum energy transfer on impact.
At 1,280 fps, this round delivers 873 ft-lbs of muzzle energy, making it an excellent choice for hunting medium-to-large game like deer and wild boar as well as heavy target shooting. It cycles smoothly in large-frame revolvers such as the Smith & Wesson Model 29 / 629, Ruger Redhawk, and Ruger Super Blackhawk, as well as .44 Mag lever-action carbines. Sellier & Bellot crafts this ammunition using high-grade reloadable brass cases and non-corrosive Boxer primers to guarantee smooth extraction and reliable ignition shot after shot.

Can I fire .44 Magnum ammo in a firearm chambered for .44 Special?
