Grizzly 44 Mag 240gr JHP +P+ – Powerful Hunting and Defense Ammo

Description

The Grizzly 44 Mag 240gr JHP +P+ load, item GC44M+P2, is a 20 round box of 44 Magnum +P+ ammunition from Grizzly Cartridge Company, loaded with a 240 grain jacketed hollow point bullet rated at 1600 fps. Grizzly recommends it for shooting and self defense.

Grizzly 44 Mag 240gr JHP +P+ Overview

This is one of the hottest 240 grain 44 Magnum loads you can buy. Grizzly loads it to +P+ pressure and rates it at 1600 fps, well above the roughly 1350 fps of many standard 240 grain factory loads. The result is a fast, flat-shooting magnum hollow point with a great deal of energy, suitable for deer and hogs, self-defense in the backcountry and serious handgun hunting. Because of its pressure level, it should only be fired in strong, modern large-frame revolvers and rifles built for full-power 44 Magnum.

Bullet Design

A jacketed hollow point opens up on impact, increasing its frontal area and transferring energy to the target. At the high speed of this +P+ load, a 240 grain hollow point expands quickly and delivers a large wound channel, while the heavy bullet weight helps it keep driving. Expansion depends on impact speed, so barrel length matters.

Intended Use

Grizzly lists this load for shooting and self-defense. In practice, a 240 grain hollow point at this speed is also a capable hunting load for deer, hogs and black bear at handgun ranges. For the largest bears, Grizzly recommends heavier hard cast loads that prioritize penetration. Check state regulations before hunting.

Firearm Compatibility

This ammunition is made for revolvers and rifles chambered in 44 Remington Magnum, such as the Smith and Wesson Model 29 and 629, the Ruger Super Blackhawk, Redhawk and Super Redhawk, the Taurus Raging Hunter, and lever-action rifles from Marlin, Henry and Rossi in 44 Magnum. Do not fire 44 Magnum in a firearm chambered only for 44 Special. +P+ ammunition exceeds standard pressure. Use it only in modern, strong 44 Magnum revolvers and rifles in excellent condition, and avoid it in older, lightweight or small-frame guns.

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

Full-power 44 Magnum loads produce heavy recoil and muzzle blast in a handgun. A large, heavy revolver with a good grip helps, and lever-action rifles make these loads far more comfortable to shoot.

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.
