Revolver Ammunition SJHP Sellier & Bellot® / 44 Rem. Mag / 15.55 g - 240 grs / 50 pcs

The .44 Remington Magnum is a modern American revolver cartridge. Due to its versatility and range of loads, it is very popular among American hunters using handguns. A variety of revolvers are chambered for this cartridge, such as Ruger, Smith & Wesson, Great Western, as well as some pistols, including the Contender. Some rifles, like those from Marlin or Winchester, are also produced in this caliber.

Not an Easy Start

The birth of this cartridge was accompanied by certain difficulties at the time. Since the 1920s, gun enthusiast Elmer Keith was trying to develop a powerful hunting cartridge for a revolver. The basis of his cartridge was derived from the then-popular .44 Special caliber. The result was a powerful cartridge equipped with a heavy bullet. However, it wasn't commercially successful. The reason was gun manufacturers' fear of a possible mix-up between Keith's cartridge and the dimensionally identical .44 Special cartridge.

Successful Innovation

In the 1950s, prompted by the well-known gun manufacturer Smith & Wesson, Remington developed the .44 Remington Magnum cartridge. The casing was lengthened compared to the .44 Special cartridge (this solution prevents the .44 Magnum cartridge from fitting into a weapon chambered for the weaker cartridge). The .44 Remington Magnum cartridge, due to its performance, is mainly intended for hunting or defensive purposes, in both revolvers and long guns.
