S&B 44REM MAG 240GR SJHP 50/600

Description

Sellier & Bellot’s .44 Magnum Semi-Jacketed Hollow Point load is built for personal defense and hunting applications where controlled, deep penetration matters more than simple expansion alone. The semi-jacketed construction is the key design choice here: a partial copper jacket encases most of the lead core while leaving the nose exposed. That arrangement strengthens the bullet enough to drive it deeply into a target rather than shedding mass early, while the exposed lead cavity ensures the bullet still begins expanding on contact rather than punching through cleanly as a full-metal-jacket would.

The trade-off relative to a fully jacketed hollow point is intentional. A deep-cavity SJHP in a heavy .44 Magnum cartridge is designed to balance expansion with enough structural integrity to reach vitals through clothing, heavy hide, or intermediate barriers. The 240-grain bullet weight sits at the traditional center of .44 Magnum loading philosophy — heavy enough for serious terminal performance, yet well within the velocity range that most medium-frame revolvers handle without excessive accelerated wear.

Sellier & Bellot loads this ammunition to CIP technical specifications in brass cases with Boxer priming, which means spent cases are fully reloadable for handloaders who want to extend the value of each box. Muzzle velocity is 1,280 feet per second, generating 872 foot-pounds of muzzle energy — figures consistent with a full-power .44 Magnum defensive or field load rather than a reduced-pressure target round. Each box contains 50 rounds; cases ship as 12 boxes.
