The Sellier & Bellot SB44A delivers reliable 44 Magnum performance with 240-grain soft point projectiles engineered for controlled expansion and deep penetration. This Czech-manufactured ammunition combines traditional craftsmanship with modern quality control standards to produce consistent results across hunting and target shooting applications.
What Makes This Different
Sellier & Bellot's 240-grain soft point design features a exposed lead tip that initiates controlled expansion upon impact while the copper jacket maintains structural integrity for reliable penetration. The brass cases undergo multi-stage quality inspection and use boxer primers for consistent ignition. Factory loading specifications deliver velocities around 1,180 fps from typical 6-inch barrels, producing approximately 740 ft-lbs of muzzle energy.

Field performance demonstrates effective terminal ballistics on deer-sized game at ranges up to 100 yards, with the soft point construction providing reliable expansion while retaining sufficient mass for complete penetration. The moderate velocity reduces felt recoil compared to heavier magnum loads while maintaining flat trajectory characteristics. Brass cases extract cleanly and show minimal signs of pressure, making them suitable for multiple reloading cycles.
