Ledehard Cast Handgun Ammo

Remington Ammunition has released its Hard Cast handgun ammunition line, engineered for deep penetration and reliable performance when protection from dangerous game is the priority. This Hard Cast is designed for hunters, backcountry travelers and handgun enthusiasts who demand maximum stopping capability. The four dangerous-game defense options feature a hard-cast, waxed-groove alloy bullet for penetration and a nickel-plated case for reliability. The new loads are 10mm 200-grain, 44 Remington Magnum 260-grain, 357 Magnum 180-grain, and 9mm Luger +P 145-grain.

"When the stakes are high and the target is heavy, you need a load built to penetrate deep and keep driving," said Product Director Nick Sachse. "Remington Hard Cast delivers that confidence with a tough, non-deforming bullet, dependable function, and features that make it a smart choice for defense against dangerous game."

Remington Hard Cast is built around a non-deforming alloy bullet designed to deliver the deep, straight-line penetration needed for defense against dense, heavy-bodied targets. Waxed grooves provide lubrication to help minimize barrel fouling, while nickel-plated cases promote smooth extraction and reliable function in harsh conditions. With heavier bullet weights across multiple popular handgun calibers, the Hard Cast line is designed to perform when the wild gets unpredictable.
