<h2>Synonyms</h2><p>0.44 Remington Magnum</p><h2>Armament</h2><p>Smith & Wesson, Ruger and other suitably chambered revolvers and carbines.</p><h2>Development</h2><p>Developed jointly by Smith & Wesson and Remington in 1954 as a more powerful version of the 0.44 Smith & Wesson Special cartridge, it was originally intended as a hunting round but was adopted by a few police agencies in the USA; it never achieved widespread use. The 0.44 Magnum is the world's most powerful, standard production and readily available handgun cartridge and as such is difficult to control, save by exceptionally skilled shooters. Moreover, it delivers terminal ballistics that are too great for standard law enforcement use. The 0.44 Magnum may still be found as a supplementary cartridge in a few US specialised police and security agencies, but it is too powerful for general use.</p><h2>Description</h2><p>A rimmed, straight-taper brass case, Boxer primed. The bullet is usually of JHP or FMJ type, as unjacketed bullets give problems with lead fouling in the barrel.</p><p>BRAZIL</p><h2>Manufacturer</h2><p>CBC Magtech</p><p>Type: Ball: JSP; 15.55 g; MV 536 m/s</p><p>FINLAND</p><h2>Manufacturer</h2><p>Nammo Lapua Cartridge Factory Ltd</p><p>Type: Ball: JSP; 15.6 g; MV 465 m/s</p><p>ISRAEL</p><h2>Manufacturer</h2><p>Israel Military Industries ( IMI ) Type: Ball: JSP; 15.55 g; MV 357 m/s Ball: JHP; 15.55 g; MV 357 m/s Ball: JHP; 11.66 g; MV 491 m/s ITALY</p><h2>Manufacturer</h2><p>Fiocchi Munizioni SpA</p><p>Type: Ball: FMJ; 15.6 g; MV 420 m/s</p><p>Ball: JHP; 13 g; MV 560 m/s</p><p>KOREA, SOUTH</p><h2>Manufacturer</h2><p>Poongsan Metal Corporation</p><p>Type: Ball: Lead, SWC; 15.6 g; MV 374 m/s</p><p>Ball: JHP; 11.7 g; MV 425 m/s</p><p>Ball: JHP; 15.6 g; MV 397 m/s</p><p>Ball: SWC; 15.6 g; MV 412 m/s</p><p>SOUTH AFRICA</p><h2>Manufacturer</h2><p>PMP , a division of Denel (Pty) Ltd</p><p>Type: Ball: JHP; 15.6 g; V 5 360 m/s</p><p>SWEDEN</p><h2>Manufacturer</h2><p>Norma AB</p><p>Type: Ball 11103: JHP; 15.55 g; MV 390 m/s</p><p>UNITED STATES OF AMERICA</p><h2>Manufacturer</h2><p>3-D</p><p>Type: Ball: JHP; 15.55 g; MV 358 m/s</p><p>Ball: Lead, SWC; 15.55 g; MV 320 m/s</p><h2>Manufacturer</h2><p>Black Hills Ammunition Company</p><p>Type: Ball: Lead SWC; 15.5 g; MV 320 m/s</p><p>Ball: JHP; 15.5 g; MV 384 m/s</p><p>Ball: JHP; 19.4 g; MV 373 m/s</p><h2>Manufacturer</h2><p>CCI-Speer</p><p>Type: Ball: JHP; 13 g; MV 433 m/s</p><p>Ball: SWC; 15.6 g; MV 412 m/s</p><p>Shot: 9.75 g; MV 305 m/s</p><h2>Manufacturer</h2><p>Cor-Bon Ammunition</p><p>Type: Ball: JHP; 10.7 g; MV 396 m/s</p><h2>Manufacturer</h2><p>Eldorado Cartridge Corp (PMC Ammunition)</p><p>Type: Ball: JHP; 15.5 g; MV 396 m/s</p><p>Ball: LSWC; 15.5 g; MV 374 m/s</p><p>Ball: JHP; 11.6 g; MV 424 m/s</p><p>Ball: JHP; 15.5 g; MV 396 m/s</p><p>Ball: JSP; 15.5 g; MV 396 m/s</p><h2>Manufacturer</h2><p>Federal Cartridge Company</p><p>Type: Ball: FMJ; 16.2 g; MV 360 m/s</p><p>Ball: JHP; 15.6 g; MV 360 m/s</p><p>Ball: JHP; 11.66 g; MV 491 m/s</p><h2>Manufacturer</h2><p>Glaser Safety Slug Inc</p><p>Type: Ball: Glaser Blue; 8.75 g; MV 564 m/s</p><p>Ball: Glaser Silver; 8.75 g; MV 564 m/s</p><h2>Manufacturer</h2><p>Remington Arms Company Inc</p><p>Type: Ball: JHP; 11.7 g; MV 491 m/s</p><p>Ball: Lead; 15.55 g; MV 305 m/s</p><p>Ball: Lead; 15.55 g; MV 448 m/s</p><p>Ball: FMJ; 15.55 g; MV 448 m/s</p><p>Ball: JHP; 15.55 g; MV 448 m/s</p><p>Ball: JHP; 13.6 g; MV 456 m/s</p><h2>Manufacturer</h2><p>Winchester-Olin</p><p>Type: Ball: Lead, SWC; 15.6 g; MV 411 m/s</p><p>Ball: JHP; 13.6 g; MV 381 m/s</p>

A rimmed, straight-taper brass case, Boxer primed. Developed jointly by Smith & Wesson and Remington in 1954 as a more powerful version of the 0.44 Smith & Wesson Special cartridge, it was originally intended as a hunting round but was adopted by a few police agencies in the USA; it never achieved widespread use. The 0.44 Magnum is the world's most powerful, standard production and readily available handgun cartridge and as such is difficult to control, save by exceptionally skilled shooters.

The bullet is usually of JHP or FMJ type, as unjacketed bullets give problems with lead fouling in the barrel. Moreover, it delivers terminal ballistics that are too great for standard law enforcement use. The 0.44 Magnum may still be found as a supplementary cartridge in a few US specialised police and security agencies, but it is too powerful for general use. Applications include smith & Wesson, Ruger and other suitably chambered revolvers and carbines.
