It was semi rare in Fallout 3, but by the time I got the ammo press in the Pitt I had 1000+ rounds in my inventory, hoping in New Vegas there's an equally easy and cheap option to aquire.44 Mags.

The powerful .44 Magnum round was originally developed for revolvers. Soon adapted for pistols and even rifles, it is a large-bore cartridge delivering a heavy, sizable bullet at very high velocities. Its excellent stopping power and range also result in plenty of recoil and a distinctive muzzle blast, making it a poor choice for users prizing maneuverability and control over sheer firepower. However, it remains well suited for any inhabitant of the wasteland needing a round capable of stopping monsters, human or otherwise.

The basic .44 Magnum ammunition is a standard full metal jacket bullet: A soft metal core surrounded by a jacket made from tougher metal. This allows for higher muzzle velocities and greater damage, as well as increased performance against armor. The increased damage is reduced somewhat by the fact that the metal jacket limits the expansion, resulting in less kinetic energy transferred to the target.

A specialized variant of the .44 Magnum round. A softer metal jacket covers a dense penetrator, while the bullet is loaded with a higher powder load, leading to improved muzzle velocity. However, improved performance against armored targets leads to impaired performance against softer targets, as the higher velocity reduces the amount of kinetic energy transferred to the target on impact.

44 Magnum Fallout New Vegas Id
A hollow point .44 bullet, where the hard metal jacket is applied specifically to increase bullet strength and create a middle ground between damage potential and penetration.
Hollow point bullets feature a hollowed out shape at the tip of the bullet, causing the bullet to expand upon impact, delivering more kinetic energy to the target and disrupting tissue more extensively. However, this same property also leads to reduced penetrative power, as the bullet will be stopped by armor much more easily due to its properties. A hard metal jacket is applied to JHP rounds to increase bullet strength and create a middle ground between damage potential and penetration.

Both types of .44 FMJ perform identically without affecting the weapon's performance, due to a bug in the Fallout executable that prevents the game from factoring ammo modifiers into the damage calculation.
