HSM Ammunition 305 Grain Wide Flat Nose Gas Check (WFNGC) Ammo Details

Many would say that the 44 Magnum is the “bear” minimum you should carry for defense in the woods. Personally, I’d want at least an M230 30mm chain gun if I had to square off against what is essentially a toothed battering ram, but I’d certainly take a forty-four over the old right hook.

This 44 Mag ammunition is designed to do one thing and one thing only: send bears into early retirement. There’s no doubt as to whether a handy fella could use HSM Bear Loads to drop deer with a lever gun. He could. But if you’re looking for conventional home/personal defense ammo, look elsewhere. This ain’t it.

Why is that? It’s the 305 grain wide flat nose gas check (WFNGC) bullet, which is designed not to expand. It’ll punch a .429” wide hole through a threat and keep on going out the other side – not ideal terminal ballistics for neutralizing a human assailant.

The WFN’s lack of expansion and deep penetration make it perfect for arresting a bear attack, though. Alongside its gas check (which helps the bullet gain more velocity while it’s rocketing through the barrel), the WFN has everything it needs to poke a very deep hole through the various barriers which separate muzzle from bear heart.
