Product Overview

Sierra's Sports Master .44 Rem delivers serious stopping power for both hunting and self-defense scenarios. The 240-grain JHP bullet, coupled with its 1250 fps velocity, makes it particularly effective for medium to large game like deer and black bear within 50 yards. When you need dependable expansion and deep penetration in the field, this round's jacketed hollow point design ensures consistent performance without over-penetration.

The brass casing and precise manufacturing tolerances make this a practical choice for regular range sessions. The moderate recoil profile, relative to other .44 Magnum loads, allows for quicker follow-up shots while maintaining the authority you expect from this caliber. If you're running a longer-barreled revolver, you'll appreciate how this round maximizes the platform's potential without excessive muzzle flash.

With 833 ft-lbs of muzzle energy, this cartridge hits the sweet spot for shooters who demand versatility. When your morning starts with target practice and ends with a hunting trip, you won't need to switch loads. The controlled expansion of the JHP projectile means you're getting practical performance that transitions seamlessly from paper to field use, making it a results-oriented addition to your ammunition rotation.

Strengths
  • 240gr weight provides excellent terminal performance while maintaining manageable recoil
  • 1250 fps velocity hits the sweet spot for reliable JHP expansion
  • 833 ft-lbs of energy makes it effective for hunting medium game at moderate ranges

  • Mid-range velocity makes it less suitable for deep brush hunting compared to harder-cast options
  • Energy level may be excessive for home defense applications
