Frequently Asked Questions
Buy .357 Remington Maximum Ammo for Sale
Can you shoot 357 maximum in a 357 Magnum?
No. The .357 Maximum case is longer than the .357 Magnum, so Maximum rounds won't chamber in a Magnum gun. However, the reverse is safe: you can shoot .357 Magnum or .38 Special in a .357 Maximum chamber, since the shorter cartridges share the same bore and case diameters.
What is the .357 maximum?
The .357 Maximum, also called .357 Remington Maximum, is a rifle and handgun cartridge offering more power than the .357 Magnum. Developed in 1983 by Ruger and Remington, it was intended for single-shot rifles and revolvers and is suitable for hunting deer-sized game.
What is the most lethal 357 round?
For self-defense, the 125-grain JHP produces the highest one-shot stop statistics historically. For penetration against heavy targets or bears, 180-grain hard-cast flat-nose loads from Underwood or Buffalo Bore deliver the deepest penetration. Underwood's 125-grain bonded JHP offers a balance of velocity and expansion.
What hits harder, 357 or 44 magnum?
.44 Magnum hits harder. It produces roughly double the muzzle energy of .357 Magnum, fires a heavier bullet, and penetrates deeper. .357 Magnum has less recoil, less muzzle blast, and cheaper ammunition. Your choice depends on whether you prioritize raw power or ease of shooting.
Is a 357 more powerful than a 10mm?
They're comparable. The 10mm operates at higher pressure (37,500 PSI vs 35,000 PSI), but .357 Magnum's longer case can deliver equally powerful loads. Real-world performance depends on specific ammunition chosen. The 10mm suits semi-auto handguns; .357 Magnum excels in revolvers.
Does 357 do more damage than 9mm?
.357 Magnum generates higher velocity and energy than 9mm—typically 200-400 fps faster with 100-300 ft-lbs more energy. However, real-world damage depends heavily on bullet construction and shot placement. Both are effective defensive cartridges; the magnum's advantage diminishes with shorter barrels.
