Description
The balanced .44 Magnum rifle load most ammunition shelves leave out
The .44 Magnum market concentrates on familiar 240-grain handgun loads and specialized 300-grain heavy ammunition. Lever-rifle hunters looking for more bullet mass than the standard class—without moving all the way to the heaviest load—have far fewer choices.
Gold Country makes the 265-grain Rhino load to fill that missing middle. It combines a hand-swaged jacketed flat nose, broad frontal area, reinforced construction and new Starline brass in small-batch, made-to-order hunting ammunition.
What the 265-grain Rhino load is built to do
This is the balanced middle lane for .44 Magnum lever rifles: more bullet mass and penetration emphasis than the familiar 240-grain class, with less weight than a deliberate 300-grain heavy load. It is built for woods hunting, field use and compatible rifle/revolver crossover.
- 265-grain mass between the conventional and heavy classes
- Broad exposed-lead flat nose for immediate tissue displacement
- Reinforced jacket designed to retain structure through resistance
- Cannelure and flat-nose geometry for compatible tubular magazines
- Hand-swaged bullet, small-batch loading and made-to-order availability

Choose the job before the weight
Choose 240 grains for the familiar general-purpose baseline, 265 grains for the balanced middle and 300 grains for deliberate heavy-for-caliber penetration work.
The approximately 1,350-fps figure is based on published load data and is not a Gold Country chronograph result. Actual velocity, accuracy and terminal performance vary with the firearm, ammunition lot and conditions.
Use only in firearms correctly chambered for .44 Magnum. Confirm cartridge fit, feeding, chambering, magazine or cylinder function and point of impact in the firearm that will be used.
