Federal Premium ammunition in .44 Magnum (brand part no. P44XB1) is a hunting-handgun load built for deep penetration on tough game. Federal manufactures this load to consistent tolerances, so every box performs the same as the last. At the heart of this load is the 225 gr bullet with a Barnes Expander (BRX) design, matched to the .44 Magnum platform shooters already run. In our handgun ammunition lineup, this is the Federal load built for that job.
