44 Special Buffalo Bore Heavy Outdoorsman 255gr Hard Cast 1325 fps – 20rds

Buffalo Bore Heavy Outdoorsman .44 Special 255gr Hard Cast is a powerful, American-made +P load featuring a flat-nose hard cast lead bullet, designed for maximum straight-line penetration, massive tissue disruption, and reliable performance in .44 Special revolvers.

• Caliber: .44 Special
• Bullet weight: 255 grains
• Bullet type: Hard Cast Lead – flat meplat, wide nose (non-expanding, deep-penetrating)
• Casing: New brass (reloadable, boxer-primed)
• Velocity (avg): 1325 fps (factory muzzle velocity, typically from a 4–6" revolver barrel)
• Muzzle energy: Approximately 993 ft-lbs
• Properties: Hot +P loading pushes the .44 Special to its safe maximum; extremely deep, straight-line penetration (often 24–36+ inches in ballistic gel or heavy tissue); wide flat meplat creates large permanent wound channels and massive tissue destruction; no expansion, minimal over-penetration risk in soft tissue; clean-burning powder; excellent accuracy and consistent velocities; reliable feeding and extraction; heavy recoil typical of Buffalo Bore heavy loads
• Primary function: Optimized for big-game hunting (deer, hogs, black bear), wilderness defense (bear, large predators), and dangerous game protection with .44 Special revolvers (e.g., S&W Model 396, Ruger SP101 .44 Special, Charter Arms Bulldog, or any .44 Special chambering); also safe (with caution) in .44 Magnum revolvers; ideal for backcountry hunters, guides, and outdoorsmen needing maximum penetration through heavy bone, muscle, and hide in a compact revolver platform

A hard-hitting, purpose-built heavy load from Buffalo Bore, widely respected for delivering near-.44 Magnum performance from the .44 Special cartridge with outstanding penetration and terminal effect. Excellent for hunting medium to large game or as a powerful defensive option in short-barreled carry guns. Made in the USA with premium components and strict quality control. Always verify compatibility with your specific revolver and follow safe handling practices.
