Description
The Federal 44 Mag 225gr Barnes Expander load is built for shooters who want more from their .44 Rem Mag than typical factory ammunition delivers. Federal loads a 225 grain Barnes Expander all-copper hollow point to a rated 1280 feet per second, producing about 819 foot-pounds of energy. The Barnes Expander is an all-copper hollow point that opens into sharp petals for a wide wound channel while retaining nearly all of its weight.
With no lead core to separate, it penetrates deeply and consistently on deer, hogs and black bear, and it is legal in many areas that require lead-free ammunition.

Buying ammunition by the box from the same production lot keeps velocity and point of impact consistent from one range trip to the next. Keep a record of the load you carry, check your ammunition for dents or loose bullets from time to time, and rotate your carry rounds so the ones in your firearm stay fresh. These simple habits help you get the full performance Federal builds into every cartridge.
Before you trust any new load, fire enough rounds through your firearm to confirm it feeds, fires and ejects reliably and that the point of impact matches your sights. Full-power loads produce more recoil and muzzle blast than typical range ammo, so practice with the Federal 44 Mag 225gr Barnes Expander until you are comfortable with it, and store the rest in a cool, dry place in the original box.
About the .44 Remington Magnum
Developed by Remington with Smith and Wesson and introduced in 1955, the .44 Magnum became one of the best-known handgun cartridges in the world. It delivers enough energy for deer and black bear at handgun ranges, and it is equally at home in lever-action and single-shot rifles, where the longer barrel adds noticeable velocity. Revolvers chambered in .44 Magnum can also fire milder .44 Special loads for practice.
