Winchester Super-X .44 Rem Mag 240 Grain Jacketed Soft Point (JSP) Ammo
Time-tested American-made .44 Remington Magnum hunting ammunition designed for big game downing power. Winchester Super-X 240gr JSP combines reloadable brass cases and non-corrosive Boxer priming with an exposed lead soft point bullet for maximum penetration and controlled expansion.
Product Overview
Winchester Super-X .44 Rem Mag 240 grain ammo is engineered for hunters and handgun enthusiasts who require reliable terminal energy and controlled mushrooming on medium-to-large game. Prominently marked for deer and black bear hunting, this proven Super-X load utilizes a 240-grain Jacketed Soft Point (JSP) bullet that holds together through thick hide and bone while delivering maximum knockout shock.
At 1,180 fps, this load delivers 742 ft-lbs of muzzle energy, optimizing weight retention and deep tissue impact. It functions reliably through large-frame revolvers like the Smith & Wesson Model 29 / 629, Ruger Redhawk, and Ruger Super Blackhawk, as well as .44 Mag lever-action rifles. Winchester loads this round in the USA using premium reloadable brass cases and non-corrosive Boxer primers to ensure clean extraction and instant ignition in demanding outdoor conditions.

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