Buffalo Bore 14B20 Heavy 44 Special 255gr Hard Cast SWC Ammo

The Buffalo Bore 14B20 Heavy Strictly Business 44 Special ammunition delivers maximum stopping power through a 255-grain hard cast semi-wadcutter bullet designed for serious defensive applications. This premium load transforms the mild-mannered 44 Special into a formidable defensive round capable of deep penetration and devastating wound channels.

What Makes This Different

Unlike standard 44 Special loads that typically push 200-grain bullets at modest velocities, the 14B20 Heavy drives a massive 255-grain hard cast projectile at approximately 1,000 fps from a 4-inch barrel. The hard cast construction ensures maximum weight retention and straight-line penetration through barriers, while the semi-wadcutter profile creates larger wound channels than traditional round nose designs. This load generates nearly double the energy of typical 44 Special ammunition.

Key Features

• 255-grain hard cast semi-wadcutter bullet for maximum penetration
• High-pressure loading optimized for +P performance levels
• Linotype-hard alloy construction prevents bullet deformation
• Semi-wadcutter profile cuts clean, large diameter wound channels
• Premium brass cases with consistent powder charges
• 20 rounds per box, 12 boxes per case (240 total rounds)
• Compatible with all 44 Special and 44 Magnum revolvers

Field testing demonstrates consistent accuracy and reliable feeding in both Smith & Wesson and Ruger revolvers. The heavy bullet weight provides excellent momentum retention, making this load effective for hunting medium game or dangerous animal defense. The hard cast construction maintains structural integrity when encountering heavy clothing, light barriers, or bone, ensuring the projectile reaches vital areas. Muzzle flash remains minimal compared to magnum loads while delivering substantially more energy than standard 44 Special ammunition.
