Grizzly 44 Mag 300gr WFNGC – Rugged Hard Cast Hunting Ammo

Description

The Grizzly 44 Mag 300gr WFNGC load, item GC44M16, is a 20 round box of 44 Magnum ammunition from Grizzly Cartridge Company, loaded with a 300 grain hard cast wide flat nose gas check bullet rated at 1400 fps. Grizzly recommends it for hunting deer and bear, shooting and self defense.

Grizzly 44 Mag 300gr WFNGC Overview

Heavy hard cast bullets are a favorite of 44 Magnum owners who hunt big game or carry in bear country, and this Grizzly load is a classic example. A 300 grain wide flat nose gas check bullet is driven to a rated 1400 fps, a combination that delivers deep, straight penetration and a full-diameter wound channel. That makes it a dependable choice for black bear, hogs, deer and larger animals, as well as backcountry protection where reaching the vitals through heavy bone matters most.

Bullet Design

WFNGC stands for wide flat nose, gas check. The hard cast lead bullet has a broad, flat nose that cuts a full-diameter wound channel, and a copper gas check crimped onto the base protects it from hot propellant gas, reducing leading and allowing higher speed. Hard cast bullets expand very little, so they penetrate deeply, which is why they are popular for deer, bear and other large game.

Intended Use

Grizzly recommends this load for hunting deer and bear, as well as for shooting and self-defense in the outdoors. It is a strong all-around backcountry load for hikers, anglers and hunters who carry a 44 Magnum. Because hard cast bullets penetrate deeply, it is not intended for urban self-defense. 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. Heavy bullets are long, so confirm they chamber and feed in your lever-action rifle.

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

Heavy 300 grain 44 Magnum loads produce stout recoil in a handgun, with more push than lighter bullets. 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.
