Remington Performance WheelGun Ammunition .44 Special 246 Grain LRN

Remington Performance WheelGun ammunition in .44 Special offers revolver shooters and lever-rifle hunters a straightforward, reliable round built on the foundation of Remington's long track record in American firearms. This 246-grain load uses a lead round nose (LRN) bullet—a classic profile that delivers consistent accuracy for target work, competition, and hunting applications where the .44 Special's moderate power and controllable recoil shine. Whether you're working up handloads, zeroing a new wheelgun, or putting rounds downrange at the range, this ammunition pairs proven components with Remington Kleanbore priming to help protect your bore from rust and corrosion over time.

The .44 Special has earned its place as the thinking shooter's magnum alternative—less punishing than a .44 Magnum but more capable than lighter pistol cartridges. That balance makes it a favorite among those who value accuracy and shot placement over raw velocity. Remington Performance WheelGun ammunition respects that discipline by focusing on quality construction rather than marketing hype. You get what revolvers actually need: consistent primers, clean-burning powder, and bullets that perform as intended.

Whether you're a competitor, a hunter with a lever rifle chambered for .44 Special, or a handloader's control freak, this round is engineered to deliver the dependable performance wheelgun shooters expect. The LRN bullet profile is traditional, proven, and forgiving in a wide range of firearms and hunting scenarios.
