Underwood Ammo's 44 Special 255-grain Lead Keith-Type Semi-Wadcutter ammunition is built for shooters who demand serious stopping power in a subsonic package. Loaded to 1000 feet per second with 566 ft-lbs of muzzle energy, this round is purpose-built for hunting and defensive use where controlled velocity and deep, reliable penetration matter. The Keith-type profile and gas check design deliver consistent performance through both revolvers and suppressor-equipped firearms without the noise signature of standard loads.
Each round starts with a lead semi-wadcutter bullet (0.429" diameter) seated in nickel-plated boxer-primed brass, giving you reloadable cases for long-term cost efficiency. The 255-grain weight and subsonic velocity make this an excellent choice for hunters working close to medium range, or for anyone running a suppressed 44 Special who wants ammunition engineered to stay subsonic. The semi-wadcutter profile cuts clean, predictable wound channels—a proven design for hunting medium game and self-defense scenarios alike.
Underwood's non-corrosive formulation means your brass stays clean and your firearms stay healthier through extended shooting sessions. Whether you're working up loads for handloading or simply looking for factory ammunition that respects suppressor integrity and delivers the ballistics you need, this 44 Special load is a no-nonsense option from a manufacturer known for understanding serious handgun ammunition.
