Description
A controlled middle path for .44 Magnum
Ordinary .44 Magnum choices often force the buyer toward either a rigid penetration-first flat nose or a conventional hollow point designed to open quickly. This load answers the need between them.
Gold Country loads its hand-swaged 240-grain Badger, using a broad exposed-lead flat nose and serrated jacket intended for limited, guided deformation while retaining a penetration bias. It is built for .44 Magnum hunters and personal-defense users who want a heavy, rifle-capable field load without defaulting to either extreme.
What the Badger design provides
- Hunting purpose: controlled deformation and continued-penetration intent for woods-range field use.
- Personal-defense purpose: a heavy, broad-nose alternative to a conventional fast-opening hollow point.
- Lever-rifle compatibility: a flat nose suited to tubular-magazine use.
- Small-batch construction: hand-swaged Gold Country bullets loaded in new Starline brass and made to order.

The stated velocity is a published-data estimate, not a Gold Country chronograph result. Actual velocity and terminal behavior vary with firearm, barrel length, atmospheric conditions and impact medium. Confirm compatibility and function in the specific firearm before field use.
