Sellier & Bellot Pistol Line .44 Remington Magnum 240 Grain Semi-Jacketed Hollow Point (MPN: SB44C)
Handgun hunters, large-bore revolver marksmen, and lever-action carbine operators running .44 Magnum need a full-power load that balances rapid terminal expansion with deep structural penetration. Sellier & Bellot engineered their Pistol Line 240-grain Semi-Jacketed Hollow Point (SJHP) cartridge specifically to address these field demands. Built to overcome the delayed expansion of fully jacketed rounds while preventing the heavy barrel lead-fouling common with bare lead projectiles, this traditional weight loading provides shooters with devastating knock-down power and clean barrel operation.
Manufactured under strict European CIP quality standards, each round features a precision-drawn 240-grain semi-jacketed hollow point bullet with an exposed lead nose surrounding a deep hollow cavity. The copper jacket extends up the bullet shank to grip the rifling and control expansion, allowing the exposed lead shoulder to mushroom aggressively upon impact while maintaining core mass for penetration through tough hide and dense bone structure. 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 momentum and cylinder blast energy. Regularly inspect your revolver's top strap and forcing cone for carbon buildup or flame cutting after extended range sessions. When cycling semi-jacketed hollow-point ammunition through lever-action carbines, verify that your loading gate and elevator feed smoothly without catching on the exposed lead shoulder or hollow-point cavity edge.
