Factory .44 Midrange ammo

[J0RDAN357]

Does anyone know of a factory loaded .44 midrange load? I believe that Remington once made such a load, but I don't know if it's still available.

Thanks for your help!

I don't think the Remington load is available anymore but Georgia Arms offers the 240 grain lead semi-wadcutter as loaded ammo ($.45/round). You could also check with companies producing "cowboy" ammo.

I'll assume you are looking for a .44 magnum defensive load. Corbon makes a 165 gr. JHP and Speer makes a short barrel Gold Dot midrange load.

Sorry for a dumb question, but what does midrange load mean? 165-240 grain? Or are you referring to recoil/report?

Midrange is like a hot .44 special. Thak is 900-1000 fps. Lower recoil and therefore faster follow up shots. I would also envision this load for use in a .44 carbine for home defense.
I pefer the full size Magnum case over the shorted special one.
Thanks again!

OK, thanks. That sounds like the CCI Blazer .44 Magnum 240 grain to me. I shot 50 rounds of that in one session out of my NG329, something I would never be able to do normally with full house .44 Magnum ammo, at least not with that gun.
