The Hornady Custom 44 Rem Mag 240-grain XTP Hollow Point delivers controlled expansion and deep penetration for hunting and personal defense applications. This premium ammunition combines Hornady's proven XTP bullet technology with carefully matched propellants to maximize performance in 44 Magnum revolvers and carbines.
What Makes This Different
The XTP (eXtreme Terminal Performance) bullet features a precisely engineered hollow point cavity that ensures reliable expansion across a wide velocity range. Unlike standard jacketed hollow points that may fail to expand at lower velocities, the XTP maintains consistent performance whether fired from short-barrel revolvers or longer carbine barrels. The controlled expansion design retains 90-95% of its original weight while creating devastating wound channels.
Key Features
- 240-grain XTP hollow point bullet with controlled expansion design
- Optimized powder charge for consistent velocities and accuracy
- Brass cases suitable for reloading with proper equipment
- Muzzle velocity of approximately 1,350 fps from 6.5-inch barrel
- Muzzle energy exceeding 970 foot-pounds for effective terminal performance
- Compatible with all 44 Remington Magnum firearms
- 20 rounds per box for extended shooting sessions
This ammunition excels in hunting scenarios where deep penetration and reliable expansion are critical for clean, ethical harvests of medium to large game. The 240-grain weight provides excellent sectional density for penetration through heavy bone and muscle tissue. Law enforcement and civilian defense users appreciate the consistent expansion characteristics that reduce over-penetration risks while maintaining stopping power.
