Product Overview

HSM's Bear Load in .44 Magnum delivers serious stopping power with its hefty 305-grain Wide Flat Nose projectile. When you need dependable performance against large game or dangerous predators, this round's substantial mass combined with its 1,260 fps velocity creates the kind of terminal performance that experienced hunters and wilderness guides stake their lives on. The WFN bullet design ensures deep penetration while creating a substantial wound channel.

The brass casing and carefully engineered powder load maintain consistent pressure levels, critical when facing down a charging bear or tracking large game in dense brush. At 1,075 ft-lbs of muzzle energy, this cartridge hits with authority while remaining manageable in quality revolvers. If you're carrying in grizzly country or hunting elk in heavy cover, this load's straight-line penetration and energy retention make it a reliable performer.

This isn't your typical range ammunition - it's purpose-built for serious field use where failure isn't an option. The wide meplat of the WFN bullet transfers energy efficiently on impact, while the robust construction prevents bullet deformation during feeding and recoil. For guides, hunters, and outdoorsmen who demand absolute reliability in their defensive loads, this cartridge delivers the kind of real-world performance that builds confidence when miles from civilization.

Strengths
  • Heavy 305gr bullet weight provides excellent penetration for large game hunting
  • Wide Flat Nose design creates larger wound channels compared to standard projectiles
  • 1075 ft-lbs of muzzle energy delivers reliable stopping power for bear defense
  • 1260 fps velocity balances penetration and expansion for hunting applications
  • Flat nose profile feeds reliably in lever action carbines
Limitations
  • Heavier bullet weight increases felt recoil compared to standard 240gr loads
  • Wide flat nose profile limits aerodynamic performance beyond 50 yards
  • Higher price point per round compared to standard .44 Mag hunting loads
