Hsm Subsonic 44Mag Hitek 280Gr Hcfn 20/20
HSM Subsonic .44 Magnum ammunition delivers a heavy, hard-cast bullet engineered for hunting and shooting applications where velocity and noise control matter. This 20-round box loads a 280-grain hard cast flat nose bullet with Hi-Tek Supercoat—a durable copper-polymer jacket that reduces fouling and extends barrel life. Pushing subsonic speeds (1025 feet per second from a 16-inch test barrel), this load generates 653 foot-pounds of energy and won't crack the sound barrier, making it suitable for both lever-action rifles and handguns chambered in .44 Magnum.
The hard cast flat nose design is built for deep penetration and controlled expansion, a trusted profile among hunters pursuing medium game and shooters working with sound-suppressed setups. The Hi-Tek coating protects the bore while reducing the smoke and residue typical of plain lead ammunition, so you spend less time cleaning between shooting sessions. At 1.625 inches in cartridge overall length, these rounds chamber reliably in standard .44 Magnum firearms.
Whether you're hunting hogs, deer, or paper at the range, HSM Subsonic .44 Magnum offers quality factory ammunition without the complexity of handloading. A rifling twist of 1:36 or faster is recommended for optimal stability.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this .44 Magnum subsonic ammo work in my lever-action rifle?
Yes. HSM Subsonic .44 Magnum is designed for all modern lever-action rifles and handguns chambered in .44 Magnum, provided your barrel twist rate is 1:36 or faster.
Is this ammunition suitable for sound-suppressed shooting?
Absolutely. At 1025 feet per second, this load travels subsonic and will not break the sound barrier, making it an excellent choice for suppressed .44 Magnum hunting and shooting applications.
What's the difference between hard cast and standard lead bullets?
The 280-grain hard cast flat nose bullet penetrates deeper and is harder than soft lead, making it more suitable for hunting medium game. The Hi-Tek Supercoat adds a protective copper-polymer layer that reduces bore fouling and simplifies cleaning compared to plain lead ammunition.
How many rounds are in a box?
Each box contains 20 rounds of HSM Subsonic .44 Magnum ammunition, ready to load into your rifle or handgun.
