The Buffalo Bore Anti-Personnel .44 Magnum 200gr Hard Cast Wadcutter is a full-profile flat-nose revolver load sold 20 rounds per box (Buffalo Bore part no. 4J20). Its 200-grain hard cast wadcutter is rated at 1,300 fps from the maker and uses a low-flash powder so the shooter is not blinded in low light. Buffalo Bore says the big flat nose cuts straight through tissue instead of slipping like a rounded bullet, which keeps penetration deep and in line. The light bullet weight at moderate velocity keeps recoil manageable for fast follow-up shots. It also suits small to medium game such as deer, black bear and elk, where deep straight penetration counts.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is a wadcutter different from a regular hollow point? A wadcutter has a full-profile flat nose, so it crushes tissue and keeps penetration straight, while Buffalo Bore says rounded expanding bullets tend to slip and slide. This hard cast version does not mushroom at all.

Can it be used for hunting? Buffalo Bore states that with at least 24 inches of straight-line penetration, the load can also serve small to medium game such as deer, black bear and even elk.

What velocities does it produce in real revolvers? The maker lists 1,308 fps from a 5.5-inch Ruger Super Blackhawk, 1,216 fps from a 4-inch S&W Mountain Gun and 1,195 fps from a 4-inch S&W Model 329PD. Buffalo Bore’s product page also reminds buyers to make sure they use the correct ammunition in their gun.
