Each round is loaded with a \u003cstrong\u003e185-grain lead hollow point (HP)\u003c\/strong\u003e bullet, engineered for reliable expansion on impact and devastating terminal performance on medium game or in defensive situations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRated at \u003cstrong\u003e1150 feet per second\u003c\/strong\u003e muzzle velocity (from typical test barrels), this load pushes well beyond standard factory offerings, providing enhanced energy—approximately \u003cstrong\u003e543 ft-lbs\u003c\/strong\u003e at the muzzle—and flatter trajectories for handguns and lever-action rifles alike. The soft lead hollow-point design (around 8-9 BHN hardness) promotes rapid, controlled expansion at both handgun and rifle velocities, creating wide wound channels while delivering deep penetration (often 18–24 inches in living tissue, depending on velocity and barriers encountered).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuffalo Bore crafts this ammunition with premium reloadable brass cases, non-corrosive primers, and flash-suppressed propellant for reduced muzzle flash and cleaner shooting. It’s specifically formulated as a modern “full-power black powder equivalent” load, achieving velocities that match or exceed historical black-powder performance without exceeding 13,000 CUP maximum average pressure—making it suitable for stronger post-1900 firearms chambered in .44-40 (always verify your specific gun’s compatibility and follow manufacturer guidelines).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis \u003cstrong\u003e20-round box\u003c\/strong\u003e is ideal for hunters seeking effective medium-game performance from lever rifles or revolvers, or for shooters who want maximum authority from their classic \u003cstrong\u003e.44-40\u003c\/strong\u003e platform without stepping up to higher-pressure cartridges. The hollow-point bullet excels at delivering quick, humane results on game while minimizing over-penetration risks in defensive use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExperience the extra punch and reliability that Buffalo Bore’s Heavy \u003cstrong\u003e.44-40\u003c\/strong\u003e line is known for.
