Magnus RNFP Bullets .44/.40 Cal .428" 200gr 500/ct

Magnus RNFP bullets in .44/.40 caliber (.428" diameter, 200 grain) deliver the straightforward performance handloaders expect from a quality cast projectile. Whether you're loading ammunition for cowboy action shooting, historical rifle competitions, or general practice, these 500-count boxes give you the volume to keep rounds flowing downrange without breaking your component budget. Round nose, flat point (RNFP) bullets are a proven design—stable in flight, reliable feeding, and forgiving of modest velocity variations across different load recipes.

The .44/.40 designation reflects the cartridge's classic heritage (the .44-40 Winchester, also known as .44 WCF), and these 200-grain projectiles pair well with both rifle and pistol platforms that chamber the round. Cast construction means slightly softer lead than jacketed options, which is actually an advantage in lower-velocity applications—you get good bullet performance without risking the excessive barrel wear that can come from harder projectiles running slow. If you're working up loads for vintage firearms or exploring the ballistic charm of pre-magnum cartridges, Magnus bullets are a sensible, economical choice.

A 500-round count is practical for handloaders who want to minimize reorder frequency without committing to massive bulk purchases. Store in a cool, dry place, and these will stay ready for your next loading session.

Frequently Asked Questions

What firearms use .44/.40 ammunition and these bullets?

The .44-40 Winchester (also called .44 WCF) was chambered in numerous rifles and lever-action carbines, as well as period revolvers. These Magnus bullets are designed for .44/.40 cartridges; verify your firearm's chamber marking before loading.

Can I use these in both rifles and pistols?

The .44-40 was historically popular in both rifles and handguns. However, always confirm that your specific firearm is chambered for .44-40 before loading any ammunition. Different firearms may have different twist rates, pressures, and velocity ranges, so consult load data specific to your gun.

Are cast bullets okay for my rifle?

Cast lead bullets work well in many rifles, particularly at moderate velocities typical of cartridges like the .44-40. They're a budget-friendly option and generally produce less bore fouling than jacketed rounds when velocities are kept reasonable. Check your rifle's condition and follow published load data for your specific firearm.

How many rounds can I load with a 500-count box?

A 500-bullet box yields 500 complete rounds, assuming you have primers, powder, and brass cases on hand. One bullet per cartridge is the standard.
