The .44 Magnum round is a type of ammunition in Fallout: New Vegas.
Characteristics[]
The .44 Magnum round is a high powered Magnum pistol cartridge derived from the .44 Special pistol round. The round can be utilized for revolvers and carbines.
Production[]
Standard and SWC .44 Magnum rounds can be crafted at a reloading bench, with the latter requiring either the schematics (obtainable from Jules after passing a check for Guns (50) and Survival (60)) or the Hand Loader perk. A single cartridge requires the following components:

Weapons using this ammunition[]
Variants[]
.44 Magnum round, hollow point[]
Hollow point bullets break on impact, reducing the weapon's penetrating power.
.44 Magnum round, SWC (hand load)[]
This flat-nosed bullet is effective against higher-level enemies and can penetrate armor. These characteristics make it much more effective than standard ball ammunition.
.44 special round[]
The parent cartridge for the .44 Magnum, the .44 special that shares all dimensions except case length. It is similar enough to be used in guns chambered for the .44 Magnum cartridge.

Notes[]
- The .44 special rounds used to be the rarest type of .44 caliber ammunition in the game, with a single box appearing in only one location, the NCR Ranger safehouse. They were added to vendor lists with patch 1.3.0.452.
- If one looks closely at the headstamp on the cartridge's model, it contradictingly reads ".357 Magnum."
- The cartridge model differs in appearance to the rounds loaded into the .44 Magnum revolver.
