This Underwood 44 Remington Magnum load combines ballistic performance with practical reloading benefits. Loaded with a 180-grain Hornady eXtreme Terminal Performance jacketed hollow point, these rounds deliver controlled expansion and deep penetration at 1700 feet per second. The lighter bullet weight keeps velocity high while managing the significant recoil that comes with this caliber, making it easier to control follow-up shots compared to heavier alternatives.
Underwood loads these rounds with flash-suppressed powder so your vision stays sharp if you need to use the firearm in low light. The ammunition is field tested in real firearms that customers actually own, not just bench-tested in ideal conditions. The 180-grain XTP in particular shines with shorter-barreled revolvers and lever-action rifles, where it delivers decisive terminal performance on game and targets.
The nickel-plated brass cases offer more than just looks. They feed smoothly in all firearm actions, resist corrosion far better than standard brass during storage, and won't tarnish from contact with leather or moisture. For reloaders, the nickel plating makes cleanup much easier, and Underwood's improved plating process won't embrittle the brass the way older techniques sometimes did. The boxer primers and reloadable cases give you good value if you shoot regularly.
This is full-power 44 Magnum ammunition that lives up to its reputation. Underwood specifically recommends loading these in steel-frame revolvers for best results. If you're shooting titanium, scandium, or aluminum-alloy revolvers, load conservatively to avoid any crimp-jump issues. The recoil is substantial but manageable with proper technique and a quality firearm built to handle magnum pressures.
Yes, the 180-grain bullet weight is actually well-suited for shorter-barreled .44 Magnum revolvers. It maintains velocity and performance better than heavier bullets at the speeds you'll get from a snub nose or compact frame. Keep in mind that even with lighter projectiles, this is full-power magnum ammunition with substantial recoil, so expect a strong impulse regardless of barrel length.
Absolutely. The nickel-plated brass cases are boxer-primed and fully reloadable. The nickel plating actually makes cleanup easier than standard brass, and Underwood's newer plating process won't cause brittleness issues. Just be mindful that .44 Magnum reloading requires attention to detail, especially with powder compression and case capacity.
Underwood recommends steel-frame .44 Magnum revolvers for optimal results with their full-power loads. If you're using titanium, scandium, or aluminum-alloy framed revolvers, load conservatively or use fewer rounds per cylinder to avoid crimp jump from the recoil. This ammunition also performs well in .44 Magnum lever-action rifles.
At 1700 fps with a 180-grain bullet, this load sits in the middle-to-upper range of typical factory .44 Magnum offerings. It delivers strong terminal performance while the lighter bullet weight helps manage recoil compared to 240 or 300-grain alternatives. The velocity is sufficient for reliable XTP expansion across typical hunting and sport shooting ranges.
