Who This Is For
This load is designed for serious big-game and dangerous-game hunters who rely on their .44 Magnum sidearm or lever-action rifle as a primary or backup hunting tool. Whether you're pursuing bears, cape buffalo, or other thick-skinned animals in demanding environments, CorBon's hard cast lead formula provides the deep, straight penetration needed to reach vital organs through heavy bone and muscle. It's equally well-suited for hunters seeking a heavy, non-expanding round for use in areas where lead retention and straight-wall penetration are paramount.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes hard cast lead bullets better for dangerous game hunting?
Hard cast lead bullets are formulated to be significantly harder than standard lead, which allows them to resist deformation on impact. Unlike hollow points or soft-point bullets designed to expand, hard cast bullets drive straight through heavy muscle, thick hide, and dense bone — making them the preferred choice for large and dangerous game like bears, elk, and buffalo where deep penetration to vital organs is essential for a clean, ethical harvest.
Can I shoot this ammunition through my 44 Magnum lever-action rifle?
Yes. CorBon's 44 Magnum 320-grain HCL ammunition is designed to function reliably in both revolvers and lever-action rifles chambered in .44 Magnum. The hard cast lead bullet is compatible with tubular magazines, and the added barrel length of a lever-action will typically increase muzzle velocity beyond the 1,175 fps rating, further boosting downrange energy and penetration.
Is this load suitable for bear defense as well as hunting?
Absolutely. The combination of a heavy 320-grain hard cast bullet and a stout 1,175 fps muzzle velocity makes this load a highly effective choice for bear defense. The non-expanding, deep-penetrating design means the bullet will reliably reach vital organs even when shot angles are less than ideal — a critical factor in close-range defensive situations against large predators.
