Lever-Gun & Revolver Compatible · Controlled Penetration Load

Functional Identity

This is a .44 Remington Magnum ammunition load built around the Gold Country Rhino 240-grain flat-nose bullet, designed for predictable penetration and reliability in real-world platforms.

It is manufactured by Gold Country Ammo using new components and assembled with platform behavior in mind — not catalog velocity targets.

Why This Load Exists

Many .44 Magnum loads are built to maximize energy figures or expansion visuals.

This load exists to do something simpler — and harder:

Feed reliably.
Penetrate straight.
Remain structurally intact across realistic velocities.

It is intended for shooters who want repeatable outcomes from lever-action rifles and revolvers, not dramatic expansion dependent on perfect conditions.

Bullet System: Gold Country Rhino

This load uses the Gold Country Rhino 240-grain flat-nose bullet, a wide-meplat, exposed-lead design built for:

• Magazine-safe geometry

• Straight-line penetration

• Structural integrity under resistance

• Predictable behavior across barrel lengths

The Rhino does not rely on tip-driven expansion.
It advances first — then deforms under resistance.

Platform Behavior

This ammunition is suitable for:

• Lever-action rifles chambered in .44 Magnum

• Revolvers chambered in .44 Magnum

The flat-nose geometry and controlled pressure envelope support reliable feeding and consistent ignition in platforms where generic rifle data often breaks down.

Load Characteristics (Observed / Documented)

• Bullet: Gold Country Rhino · 240 grain · Flat-nose

• Muzzle Velocity: ~1350 FPS (based on documented load data)

• Pressure: 38,200 CUP

• Behavior: Controlled penetration, structural integrity over expansion theatrics

Velocity and pressure are balanced for real-world use, not headline numbers.

IMPORTANT NOTE — Overall Length

Minimum OAL: 1.600″
SAAMI Maximum OAL: 1.610″

This ammunition is assembled within a narrow OAL window to ensure proper feeding and consistent behavior.
Do not substitute components or alter seating depth.
