Description

The .44 Remington Magnum with a 240-grain Jacketed Hollow Point (JHP) or similar bullet (such as the Nosler ASP – Sporting Handgun) is a premier, versatile load designed for medium-to-large game hunting and personal defense. The 240-grain bullet is considered the standard weight for this caliber, offering a balanced combination of high velocity, deep penetration, and significant stopping power.

Performance and Specifications

Muzzle Velocity: Typically ranges from 1,180 fps (standard revolver) to over 1,600 fps (carbine/longer barrels).
Muzzle Energy: Approx. 700 to 1,394+ ft-lbs.
Bullet Type: Jacketed Hollow Point (JHP) or Jacketed Soft Point (JSP) designed for controlled expansion, weight retention, and deep penetration.
Applications: Ideal for hunting deer, boar, and black bear, as well as self-defense.

Key Features of 240gr .44 Mag Loads

Nosler ASP (Action Sporting Pistol): Nosler manufactures .44 Caliber 240gr JHP bullets designed for high-performance, consistent terminal performance in handguns.
Versatility: These loads are suitable for both revolvers (e.g., Smith & Wesson Model 29) and lever-action rifles (e.g., Marlin 1894).
Terminal Performance: JHP designs often achieve 1.3x expansion and high weight retention (up to 97%), making them highly effective for harvesting game.
Reliability: Many manufacturers, including Federal (Power-Shok), Remington (HTP), and Cor-Bon, produce this load for reliable, deep-penetrating performance.

Considerations

Recoil: The .44 Magnum produces significant, heavy recoil.
Weapon Suitability: While ideal for most .44 Magnum revolvers and rifles, some 240gr JHP loads (like the Cor-Bon Hunter) are specifically designed for high-velocity hunting.
Accuracy: Often produces 1.75-inch, three-shot groups at 50 yards.
