Gun Descriptions

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.

About The .445 SuperMag Ammo is a longer and more powerful version of magnum cartridge that is essentially a cartridge for handguns, but by extending the casing, they can be used in rifles as well. The Super Magnum Ammo cartridges are the most widespread family of the super magnum handgun cartridges that were tested and proposed by Elgin Gates in the 1970s. Due to the pressures involved and the overall length of the .445 SuperMag Ammo, the guns that this bullet was used in were of somewhat large sizes and weights. With bullet variants weighing up to the 300-grain load, the .445 SuperMag Ammo proved to be very powerful, highly accurate, and a fine-performing cartridge. However, a heavy price needed to be paid for its use in the form of an unpleasant muzzle blast and recoil. The barrel compensator introduced by Wesson firearms allowed the shooters to tame the .445 SuperMag ammo recoil. Manufacturer The .445 SuperMag Ammo was designed and introduced in the years of 1980. Uses For people who can handle the blast and recoil of the .445 SuperMag Ammo, it would be the perfect choice for metallic target shooting and hunting down a large, dangerous game.
