Frequently Asked Questions
Hornady .357 Ammo
What is the best grain bullet for a 357 Magnum?
For self-defense, 125-grain bullets offer high velocity and good expansion. For hunting or target shooting, 158-grain provides better penetration and accuracy, matching the original magnum design specifications. Your revolver's barrel length and intended use should ultimately guide your selection.
What is the hardest hitting 357 Magnum ammo?
Underwood and Cor-Bon produce the highest-energy .357 Magnum loads. Underwood's 125-grain JHP reaches around 1,700 fps from a 4-inch barrel, generating over 800 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. For penetration, 158-grain loads hit harder on target. Barrel length significantly affects performance.
What is the shelf life of .357 Magnum ammo?
Properly stored .357 Magnum ammunition can remain reliable for decades. Moisture, heat, and temperature swings degrade it faster than time alone. For self-defense use, rotating stock every few years is reasonable. Storage conditions matter far more than any fixed expiration date.
What is the difference between Hornady XTP and XTP mag?
XTP Mag differs from standard XTP in several ways: it has copper extending into the hollow point cavity, fewer pedal perforations, a less defined shoulder, no rings around the shoulder, and is just under 1/8 inch longer. These features, plus a thicker jacket, make XTP Mag tougher for magnum and heavy loads.
Who makes the best 357 Magnum ammo?
"Best" depends on your use. For self-defense, Hornady Critical Defense and Federal Premium Barnes are popular choices. Hunting applications favor heavier 158-grain loads. Quality brands like Speer, Remington, and Sellier & Bellot also perform well.
What is the best 357 ammo for hunting?
For deer-sized game, 158-grain hollow points like Winchester Big Bore or Federal Vital-Shok 140-grain are reliable choices. Heavier bullets retain energy better at close range. Match bullet weight to your specific handgun's twist rate and your expected hunting distance for optimal accuracy and terminal performance.
Is LEVERevolution worth it?
LEVERevolution in .357 Magnum extends effective range through its flexible polymer tip, enabling use in tubular magazines. Worth the price if you shoot a lever-action and want better downrange performance.
