20 Rounds of .44 Mag Ammo by Hornady - 200gr JHP

Great 44 magnum ammunition when each shot counts!

For the money, you’re getting some of the best personal defense and hunting ammunition that is available for just barely more than a premium target round. It’s quite a bargain if you look at the underlying characteristics of the cartridge and the load build. The Hornady Custom line is a very well made product with the best Hornady components and thoughtful attention to detail and engineering.

This load utilizes the XTP projectile, a proven bullet in a 200 grain configuration with a muzzle velocity of 1500 feet per second. The substantial powder charge offers this potent speed and substantial energy (993 pound feet). In hunting scenarios this is a dynamic load as it allows a full range of use that other, lesser .44 Magnum loads can’t quite get to. For home defense it may be a bit much for a rural environment but is a nice round for ranches or other large properties. The risk of overpenetration exists with the type of performance that this ammunition offers. But certainly, a case could be made that the more power the better, when it comes to stopping a potential threat. In that case, this is a strong contender all the way around, from hunting to personal protection.
