Sellier & Bellot Pistol Line .44 Remington Magnum 240 Grain Soft Point (MPN: SB44A)
Handgun hunters, large-bore revolver enthusiasts, and lever-action carbine shooters running .44 Magnum require a full-power load that balances hard-hitting kinetic energy with controlled terminal expansion and reliable cycling. Sellier & Bellot engineered their Pistol Line 240-grain Soft Point (SP) cartridge specifically to address these demands. Designed to overcome the erratic terminal behavior and heavy barrel fouling often seen with unjacketed lead options, this heavy-for-caliber round provides deep penetration and maximum stopping power on medium-to-large game and heavy target steel.
Manufactured under strict European CIP quality standards, each round features a precision-drawn 240-grain lead-core soft point projectile with an exposed lead nose. The copper jacket wall is engineered to initiate uniform mushrooming upon impact while preserving structural weight for deep wound channels through heavy bone and dense muscle tissue. Sellier & Bellot seats these projectiles into factory-new, heavy-walled reloadable brass cases charged with clean-burning propellants and non-corrosive boxer primers, ensuring reliable cylinder rotation and instantaneous ignition under full magnum chamber pressures.
On the range or in the woods, expect authentic 240-grain .44 Magnum ballistic performance—a stout, authoritative recoil impulse paired with exceptional downrange trajectory stability. Pushing a muzzle velocity around 1,280 FPS from standard revolver barrels, this loading generates optimal pressure to ensure effortless cylinder extraction and positive feeding through tubular magazines in lever-action rifles. The high-grade drawn brass cases provide long reloading lifecycles, making this 50-round box an exceptional value for target scoring, field hunting, and high-volume large-bore training.
Armorer Bench Notes & Technical Maintenance Guidance
Shipping Restrictions: Ammunition sales are strictly regulated. Check all state and local laws prior to ordering. Cannot ship to PO Boxes, APO/FPO addresses, or internationally. Must ship via ORM-D / Hazardous Ground transport.
Armorer Tip: Heavy 240gr .44 Magnum loads generate significant recoil energy and cylinder blast. Regularly inspect your revolver's top strap and forcing cone for carbon buildup or flame cutting after extended range sessions. When cycling soft-point ammunition through lever-action carbines, ensure your loading gate and elevator feed smoothly without snagging on the exposed lead tip of the bullet.
