.44 Magnum Hunting & Personal-Defense Ammunition — 240-Grain Gold Country Badger Serrated Flat Nose, 50 Rounds

Description

A middle path between rapid expansion and a solid-style flat nose

Some .44 Magnum hunters want more controlled deformation than a conventional hollow point, without moving all the way to a minimally deforming penetration load. This 240-grain Gold Country Badger load is built for that middle lane.

The hand-swaged, jacketed Badger uses a broad serrated flat nose intended to begin controlled deformation while retaining a continued-penetration bias. The flat profile also provides practical geometry for tubular-magazine lever rifles. This 50-round quantity gives the shooter enough of the same small-batch ammunition to confirm function and point of impact, then carry it into the field.

What this load is built to do

• Woods-range hunting: a heavy 240-grain option for deer, hog and similar field use where penetration matters.
• Personal defense: a broad-nose alternative for shooters who prefer controlled deformation over a fast-opening conventional hollow point.
• Lever-rifle use: flat-nose geometry appropriate for tubular magazines, subject to confirmation in the individual firearm.
• Consistent supply: hand-swaged Gold Country bullets loaded in new Starline brass.

Velocity basis and firearm fit

The approximately 1,350-fps figure is based on published load data, not a Gold Country chronograph result. Actual velocity and terminal behavior vary with firearm, barrel length, atmospheric conditions and impact medium. Confirm chambering, feeding, function and point of impact in the firearm that will be used.
