44 Mag – 240 gr SJHP – Sellier Bellot (SB44C) – 600 Rounds

Full-power 44 Magnum is expensive to shoot in quantity, and that cost keeps many revolver owners from practicing with real loads. This listing is Sellier and Bellot 44 Remington Magnum 240 grain semi-jacketed hollow point ammo, MPN SB44C, sold as 600 rounds for practice, hunting, and woods carry.

Sellier and Bellot rates this load at 1,280 fps with 872 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. The 240 grain bullet is the standard 44 Magnum weight, and the semi-jacketed hollow point leaves exposed lead at the nose to promote expansion while the jacket controls it for penetration. That combination suits deer and hogs at handgun distances and serves for defense against two-legged threats. From a carbine, velocity climbs further, extending effective range for deer hunting.

This ammunition fits revolvers and rifles chambered in 44 Remington Magnum, including the Ruger Redhawk, Super Redhawk, and Super Blackhawk, Smith and Wesson Model 29 and 629, Taurus Raging Hunter, plus lever-action rifles such as the Henry Big Boy, Marlin 1894, and Rossi R92. A common question is whether 44 Magnum can be fired in a 44 Special revolver. No. The magnum case is longer and higher pressure. The reverse is fine, since 44 Special fires safely in a 44 Magnum. Another common question is whether this load is suitable for bear defense. Many guides prefer heavier hard cast bullets for large bears, so treat this as a deer and general purpose load.

Sellier and Bellot SB44C is new production ammunition, not reloads, made in the Czech Republic. Each round uses a reloadable brass case with a boxer primer and non-corrosive priming. This listing ships as 12 boxes of 50 rounds for a total of 600 rounds from one lot, enough for serious practice with full-power loads before hunting season. Practicing with the same load you hunt with means no surprises in recoil or point of impact when the moment comes.
