The Hornady Custom .44 Magnum 300 gr XTP (Hornady part no. 9088) is a 20-round box of .44 Magnum ammunition loaded with a 300-grain XTP (Extreme Terminal Performance) bullet. Hornady publishes 1150 fps and 881 ft-lb at the muzzle for this load from a 7.5-inch test barrel, and 1030 fps by 100 yards. It belongs to the Hornady Custom handgun line, which the company describes as loaded for shooters who want supreme accuracy and maximum knock down power. Hornady says every round is hand inspected before packaging, and that it builds Custom ammunition to give shooters the advantage of hand-loaded accuracy in a factory load. Pick it when you want the 300-grain weight in .44 Magnum backed by the maker’s own velocity and energy figures.
