MAGTECH 44MAG 240GR FMJ FLAT 50/1000

Description

Magtech’s Sport line is built around one straightforward purpose: putting a lot of rounds downrange without drama, and the .44 Magnum 240-grain FMJ Flat is no exception. This is range ammunition — suited to handgunners and lever-action shooters who want to practice regularly without reaching for a premium hunting load every time they head out.

The flat-nosed full metal jacket profile is a practical choice for revolvers and tubular magazines alike. The flat meplat transfers energy into paper or steel targets more decisively than a round-nose bullet, and the full jacket keeps lead fouling in the bore to a minimum during extended range sessions. Brass casings are reloadable for those who run enough volume to make a reloading setup worthwhile.

Magtech loads this round to a muzzle velocity of 1,617 fps from an 8.3-inch test barrel, producing 1,395 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. Velocity at 100 yards settles around 1,285 fps, with energy dropping to 881 ft-lbs — figures that reflect the natural trade-off of a heavy, moderately aerodynamic bullet at magnum pressures. The ballistic coefficient of 0.172 is honest for this bullet shape; it won’t buck wind the way a longer, more streamlined projectile will, but at typical handgun distances that’s a non-issue. Primers are large pistol type, consistent with standard .44 Magnum loading practice.

Packaged 50 rounds per box, with cases of 1,000 available for shooters who plan ahead, this load makes the most sense for anyone building familiarity with a .44 Magnum platform before switching to a more specialized defensive or hunting round.
