About
The .44 Magnum Ammo is a rimmed, long bore bullet designed in 1954 initially used by revolvers but was quickly adopted for rifles and carbines. The design of the .44 Magnum Ammo is based on the .44 Special Ammo, but the lengthened case of the .44 Magnum Ammo allows it to load more pressure and achieve more incredible velocity and energy levels. At one point, the .44 Magnum Ammo was called the most powerful handgun ammo but was later dethroned by a few others. However, because of its manageable recoil, the .44 Magnum Ammo still remains one of the most popular large-bore magnum bullets. The .44 Magnum Ammo is unsuitable to be used by police or people with small builds. The overall length and diameter of the .44 Magnum Ammo are 41mm and 10.9m, respectively. The 340-grain variant of this cartridge travels at the velocity of 1,425 feet per second and produces an energy level of 1,533 ft.lbf.
Manufacturer
The .44 Magnum Ammo was designed and manufactured by Elmer Keith and Smith & Wesson in 1954. Because the bullet remains popular today, it is still manufactured.
Uses
When it comes to hunting, the .44 Magnum Ammo is a favorite for taking out the medium, and big game, up to the size of an elk in the range of 100 to 150 yards. However, thanks to the precise shot placement and deep level penetration this bullet provides, the big Cape Buffalo has been taken out.
44 Russian Ammo
About
The .44 Russian Ammo, also known as the .44 S&W Russian Ammo, is a black powdered centerfire metallic bullet created for revolvers and was made available to the general public in 1870. The .44 Russian Ammo used the .44 S&W American as its parent case and was designed according to its blueprints. The .44 Russian Ammo generated much more chamber pressures than its parent casing. To avoid damage to the barrel due to the high pressures of the bullet, the overall length of the .44 Russian Ammo was increased by .06 inches. This cartridge became a domestic hit and became the first American revolver bullet to offer inherent accuracy. Many records were set using the .44 Russian Ammo, so it came to be an effective target round. The overall length of the .44 Russian Ammo is 36mm, and the bullet diameter of this cartridge is 10.9mm. The 246-grain bullet variant of the .44 Russian Ammo can travel at a velocity of 750 feet per second while creating an energy level of 310 ft.lbf.
Manufacturer
The .44 Russian Ammo was designed after the .44 S&W American Ammo by Smith & Wesson in 1870 in the United States.
Uses
The .44 Russian Ammo is still used today mainly for target shooting as it provides the shooter with precise accuracy.
