Buffalo Bore Ammunition's 44 Remington Magnum 225 Grain Barnes XPB Hollow Point load delivers serious stopping power for hunters and sport shooters who demand maximum performance from a magnum handgun. Built around Barnes' all-copper XPB hollow point projectile, this round combines deep penetration with rapid energy transfer—exactly what you need when hunting big game or handling large predators where reliability trumps everything else. The lead-free construction makes it compliant for use in California and other restricted regions, without sacrificing the terminal ballistics that make the 44 Mag legendary.

Buffalo Bore has built a reputation for loading ammunition to the edge of safe pressure specifications, and this load reflects that philosophy. Shooters choosing this round expect tighter velocity spreads, more predictable expansion, and the kind of performance you simply don't get from commodity ammunition. Whether you're hunting at distance from a rifle-caliber handgun or running a guide gun through thick brush, the 225-grain XPB strikes the balance between velocity and bullet mass that serious hunters demand.

Each box contains 20 rounds, making it practical for range testing, load development, or a dedicated hunting trip. If you've built your 44 Mag setup to handle premium ammunition and want terminal performance that matches your rifle-class expectations, this is the kind of load that earns shelf space in your ammo cabinet.

Yes, this ammunition is loaded to standard 44 Remington Magnum specifications and will function in any firearm chambered for 44 Mag, including revolvers and lever-action rifles.

Is this lead-free ammunition legal in California?

What is the Barnes XPB bullet and why choose it over standard hollow points?

The Barnes XPB is an all-copper hollow point designed for controlled expansion and maximum penetration. It delivers consistent performance across varying distances and will not fray or separate like some lead-core bullets, making it ideal for hunting applications where deep, reliable expansion is critical.

Can I use this ammunition for hunting large game like elk or wild boar?

The 44 Magnum with a 225-grain bullet is suitable for hunting applications within appropriate range. However, ammunition selection for specific game should be based on your rifle or handgun's ballistics, your shooting distance, and your local hunting regulations. Consult your firearms manual and hunting regulations for guidance on caliber suitability for your intended game.
