Breakdown
Breaking down a .44 Magnum round yields:

Weapons using this ammunition

 * .44 Magnum revolver
 * Mysterious Magnum
 * FIDO
 * Trail carbine

.44 Magnum round, hollow point
Hollow point bullets break on impact, reducing the weapon's penetrating power.

.44 Magnum round, SWC (hand load)
The bullet also is effective against higher-level enemies and can penetrate armor. These characteristics make it much more effective than standard ball ammunition. Schematics for making these rounds can be obtained from Jules after passing a check for Guns (50) and Survival (60). The recipe is also unlocked if the player character chooses the Hand Loader perk.

.44 special round
The parent cartridge for the .44 Magnum, the .44 special is a less-powerful round that shares all dimensions except case length. It is similar enough to be used in guns chambered for the .44 Magnum cartridge. These 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. As of patch 1.3.0.452 they have been added to vendor lists.

Locations

 * Found on NCR Rangers.
 * Found on legionaries from Caesar's Legion.
 * Can be purchased from: Blake, Alexander, Torres, the arms merchant, Mick and the Vendortron, among others.
