Description
The Grizzly 44 Mag 200gr Cowboy RNFP load, item GC44M2, is a 50 round box of 44 Magnum ammunition from Grizzly Cartridge Company, loaded with a 200 grain lead round nose flat point (Cowboy) bullet rated at 975 fps. Grizzly recommends it for target shooting.
Grizzly 44 Mag 200gr Cowboy RNFP Overview
This Grizzly Cowboy load turns a 44 Magnum into a pleasant, reduced-recoil shooter. A 200 grain lead round nose flat point at a moderate 975 fps gives the feel of a mild 44 Special load while using 44 Magnum cases, so it runs reliably in magnum revolvers and lever guns without the blast and recoil of full-power ammunition. The flat point is safe in tubular magazines, making it a natural fit for cowboy action stages that pair a revolver and a lever-action rifle. A 50 round box covers a full match.
Bullet Design
Grizzly’s Cowboy loads use lead bullets at moderate speeds for target shooting and cowboy action matches. A round nose flat point profile feeds smoothly through revolver cylinders and lever-action carriers, and the flat tip is safe in tubular magazines where the bullet of one round rests against the primer of the next. Soft lead is gentle on steel targets and bores.
Intended Use
Grizzly lists this as a target shooting load. It suits cowboy action and SASS-style matches, steel plates and casual plinking. It is also a good way to introduce newer shooters to a 44 Magnum revolver. It is not intended for hunting or self-defense; for those, choose one of Grizzly’s heavier hard cast or hollow point 44 Magnum loads.
Firearm Compatibility
This ammunition is made for revolvers and lever-action rifles chambered in 44 Remington Magnum, such as the Smith and Wesson Model 29 and 629, the Ruger Super Blackhawk and Vaquero in 44 Magnum, and lever-action rifles from Marlin, Henry, Rossi and Uberti. Do not fire 44 Magnum in a firearm chambered only for 44 Special.
Grizzly Cartridge Company
Grizzly Cartridge Company is an American ammunition maker known for heavy, hard-hitting loads for hunters, outdoorsmen and handgunners who carry in bear country, along with cowboy action, defense and safari ammunition. Its loads are made in the USA, and many are built to run at the upper end of what each cartridge allows, so always match the load to your firearm.
Recoil and Shootability
Loaded to a moderate 975 fps, this 44 Magnum load is far milder than full-power magnum ammunition, closer in feel to a 44 Special. It is comfortable for long cowboy action stages and for practice in both revolvers and lever-action rifles.
Practice and Testing
Fire at least a box through your own firearm before you rely on this load for hunting, competition or protection. Confirm reliable feeding and extraction, and check where it prints at the distances you expect to shoot, since heavy or fast loads often hit to a different point than light practice ammunition.
Storage and Care
Store ammunition in a cool, dry place in its original box, away from solvents and lubricants that can contaminate primers. Inspect rounds for dents, loose bullets or corrosion before loading.
