What to know about .44 Magnum JHP

The .44 Mag JHP is a versatile load that works for self-defense, deer, and hog hunting. Hornady XTP is the most popular option — reliable expansion at .44 Mag velocities with good weight retention. For dedicated bear defense, step up to hard-cast hunting loads instead of JHP.

Frequently asked questions

Which .44 Magnum hollow points does this page compare?
Hornady XTP 240gr JHP, Federal HST .44 Magnum, and Speer Gold Dot 240gr are compared here. JHP designs emphasize expansion, while hard-cast lead loads emphasize deeper penetration.
What are the self-defense tradeoffs of .44 Magnum?
.44 Magnum produces high muzzle energy along with severe recoil, muzzle blast, and over-penetration risk. Those characteristics differ substantially from lower-energy handgun cartridges such as 9mm and .38 Special.
How is .44 Magnum JHP priced?
Full-power .44 Magnum loads from Buffalo Bore and Underwood cost more than standard-velocity options from Federal and Hornady. The market is smaller than 9mm or .45 ACP, keeping prices higher. Current observed .44 Magnum prices are in the 30-day price summary at the top of this page.
