Underwood Ammo Hard Cast Wadcutter Handgun Ammunition 44 Spl 200gr LSWC 1000 fps 20/ct
Underwood Ammo Hard Cast Wadcutter handgun ammunition in .44 Special delivers a proven, subsonic load built for hunters and shooters who demand consistent performance from their revolver. This 200-grain lead wadcutter round exits the barrel at 1000 feet per second—below the sound barrier—making it an excellent choice for suppressed shooting, hunting applications, and shooters prioritizing controllable recoil without sacrificing terminal performance. The hard-cast projectile construction and 444 ft-lbs of muzzle energy give you a load that performs reliably in .44 Spl revolvers while remaining suppressor-safe.
Underwood Ammo loads these rounds on new production, non-corrosive boxer-primed brass that you can reload, so long-term shooters can stretch their dollar further. The nickel-plated brass resists corrosion and feeds smoothly, while the hard-cast lead bullet resists deformation under recoil. Each box contains 20 rounds—enough for a serious practice session or field use without breaking stride.
Whether you're working up a load for a .44 Special hunting revolver, setting up a suppressed handgun for pest control, or simply looking for a soft-recoiling, effective round that won't punish you at the range, this Underwood load bridges hunting-grade performance with shooter comfort. The wadcutter profile cuts clean holes for easy target scoring, and the subsonic velocity keeps things quiet and manageable.
