Who This Is For
This Magtech .44 Special LFN load is the go-to choice for Cowboy Action Shooting enthusiasts who compete in SASS or similar events, as well as recreational shooters who enjoy classic single-action revolvers such as the Colt Single Action Army or Ruger Vaquero, and lever-action rifles chambered in .44 Special or .44 Magnum. The flat nose profile and mild velocity make it equally well-suited for steel target practice, where knockdown power and consistent cycling matter most.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use this .44 Special ammo in a .44 Magnum revolver or lever-action rifle?
Yes. The .44 Special is the parent cartridge of the .44 Magnum, and any firearm chambered in .44 Magnum will safely chamber and fire .44 Special ammunition. This makes Magtech's LFN load an excellent light-recoil practice option for .44 Magnum revolvers such as the Smith & Wesson Model 29 or lever-action rifles like the Marlin 1894.
Why is a flat nose bullet preferred for Cowboy Action Shooting?
Flat nose (LFN) bullets are favored in Cowboy Action Shooting for two key reasons: they feed reliably through tubular magazines in lever-action rifles without the risk of primer ignition associated with pointed bullets, and their flat meplat transfers energy efficiently to steel targets, ensuring clean knockdowns on reactive steel used in SASS-style stages.
Are these brass casings reloadable after firing?
Yes. Magtech uses high-quality brass casings with Boxer primers, making them fully reloadable with standard reloading dies. This is a significant advantage for handloaders looking to tailor .44 Special loads for specific revolvers or competition requirements, and it adds long-term value to every box purchased.
