Newly designed defense cartridge joins X-DEF line-up
Lewiston, Idaho Freedom Munitions is beefing up the X-DEF defense line with the addition of a powerful .44 Magnum cartridge.
Designed for defense, this .44 Mag cartridge utilizes a brass case with X-Treme Bullets’ copper plated, 240 grain X-DEF hollow point expanding bullet and is loaded with premium, low-flash powder. Thoroughly tested in Freedom Munitions’ own underground ballistics lab, the 240 grain projectile travels at a velocity of 1350 fps with a 6” barrel and penetrates 15”-18” in clear ballistic gelatin. In a grizzly situation, this component recipe and kinetic energy of 971 ft lbs. provides an effective choice for protection.
“We have designed each X-DEF round for optimum penetration and weight retention, with meticulous attention to detail to ensure the stopping power our customers can trust. Whether you are in bear country or stocking up on home defense rounds, the addition of.44 Mag to this line allows for a confident choice in one’s personal defense ammo,” said Toby Thill, President of Freedom Munitions.
Over the last year Freedom Munitions has enhanced the X-DEF line with several new calibers, including 38 Special X-DEF, 357 Mag X-DEF in two weights, a 200 grain 10MM X-DEF and also 357 Sig X-DEF emphasizing Freedom Munitions’ commitment to grow this well-known self-defense line of ammunition.
