Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Hornady 200 gr XTP suitable for hunting with a .44 Magnum?
Yes. The 200 grain XTP is an excellent choice for handgun hunting of deer, wild boar, and similarly sized game at typical pistol ranges. The XTP bullet is engineered to expand reliably across a wide range of velocities, delivering deep, controlled penetration that maximizes energy transfer — exactly what's needed for clean, ethical kills in the field.
Will this ammunition work in all .44 Magnum revolvers and pistols?
Hornady Custom .44 Magnum ammunition is compatible with any firearm chambered in .44 Magnum, including popular revolvers from Smith & Wesson, Ruger, and Taurus, as well as semi-automatic pistols and lever-action rifles chambered in .44 Magnum. Always consult your firearm's owner's manual to confirm the ammunition types recommended by the manufacturer.
How does the 200 grain XTP compare to heavier .44 Magnum loads in terms of recoil and performance?
The 200 grain XTP load produces noticeably less recoil than heavier 240–300 grain .44 Magnum loads while still generating nearly 1,000 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. This makes it a great option for shooters who want the stopping power of the .44 Magnum cartridge with faster follow-up shots and reduced fatigue during extended range sessions — without sacrificing meaningful terminal performance.
