The Underwood .44 Remington Magnum 305gr Long Flat Nose Hard Cast from Underwood Ammo (Underwood part no. 723) is a coated lead .44 Magnum load, sold in a 20-round box. The bullet is hard cast and wears Underwood’s Black Cherry polymer coating, which it says prevents lead-to-bore contact and lets you shoot higher velocities without lead fouling. Underwood describes hard cast flat nose bullets as non-expanding and powerfully penetrative, able to keep their nose-forward position through dense mass. Listed performance is 1,325 fps and 1,189 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. It is a penetration-minded load for .44 Magnum revolvers and rifles.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I know before firing .44 Magnum ammunition from a lightweight revolver? Underwood notes that its .44 Magnum loads are produced within SAAMI specifications and carry exceptional recoil, and it prefers to see them fired from steel revolvers. In titanium, scandium or aluminum alloy frames it recommends only one or two rounds in the cylinder at a time, because recoil can loosen the crimp on waiting rounds and let a bullet creep out of the case. You can shoot them in a snub nose .44 Magnum, but a full cylinder may be hard to manage.

What does the Black Cherry coating do? Underwood describes it as a polymer-based coating that protects against gas cutting, resists wear and abrasion, and prevents lead-to-bore contact, virtually eliminating lead fouling.

How many rounds come in the box? The box holds 20 loaded rounds.
