Remington Target Lead Round Nose (LRN) 246 Grain 44 S&W Special Ammo - 50 Rounds

Smith & Wesson introduced .44 Special ammo in 1907 as an improved, smokeless powder alternative to the .44 Russian complete with their New Century model revolver. While not an impressive knockdown cartridge the .44 retained the Russian’s reputation for accuracy and remains a popular choice for target shooting and home defense. It is especially popular with .44 Magnum shooters looking for a little less wear and tear on both their firearms and themselves when at the range, spending more time hitting targets than combatting that anticipatory wince that full magnum rounds are famous for generating.

Remington’s 246 grain, lead round nosed bullet has a muzzle velocity of 755 feet per second with 311 foot pounds of energy, making it a premium target shooting round for Special and Magnum chambered firearms. The obvious exception being .44 Magnum self-loading firearms where the lower pressure may be insufficient in cycling the action.

Remington ammunition and the green yellow combination of their branding are both sources of pride and comfort for American shooting enthusiasts who depend on their ammunition or have little tolerance for “mostly good.” Long trusted by recreational and sport shooters alike, their reloadable brass cases remain a source of further value as well.
