Frequently Asked Questions
Buy .356 WIN Ammo for Sale
Can you use .356 bullets in 9mm?
Yes, .356 bullets can work in 9mm since they're only .001" larger than the standard .355" diameter. Most firearms handle this without pressure issues, though accuracy varies by gun. Tighter chamber tolerances may cause feeding problems, so test carefully in your specific firearm.
What is the difference between 356 win and 358 win?
.356 Winchester was designed for lever-action rifles with a smaller case head (.506"), while .358 Winchester uses a larger case head (.473") for bolt-action rifles. Both fire .358" bullets with similar ballistics, but differ in case dimensions and feeding systems, making them non-interchangeable.
What is the ballistics of a Winchester 356?
.356 Winchester fires .358" bullets from a 20" barrel. Load options include a 180gr FN Speer at 2,700 fps and a 220gr Nosler FN Partition as separate offerings. Zeroed 2 inches high at 100 yards, it stays within 4 inches of point of aim to roughly 230 yards. Effective on deer to 250 yards and elk to 200 yards.
Who makes the highest quality ammo?
Quality varies by use case. Hornady is known for consistency and in-house manufacturing. Federal, Winchester, and Nosler also have strong reputations. Fiocchi and Sellier & Bellot offer reliable performance. Your specific firearm and intended purpose should guide your choice.
Do they still make 17 WSM ammo?
Yes, Winchester still produces 17 WSM ammunition. It's available in several load variants from retailers like MidwayUSA and Brownells, typically priced between $24 and $64 per box. Availability can be limited, so checking multiple retailers is advisable.
Is a 17 WSM better than a 17 HMR?
Neither is objectively "better"—it depends on your needs. The 17 WSM shoots faster (3000 fps vs 2550 fps), bucks wind better, and excels past 150 yards. The 17 HMR costs less, offers more ammunition options, and suits closer ranges. WSM rifles are also less common.
What is the purpose of the 17 WSM?
The 17 WSM is a rimfire cartridge designed for varmint hunting, including prairie dogs, at extended ranges well beyond 150 yards. It is faster than the 17 HMR, though ammo is limited and expensive compared to the HMR. Shooters also use it for target shooting.
Can you shoot 17 HMR ammo in a 17 WSM rifle?
No. 17 WSM and 17 HMR are different cartridges with distinct dimensions and pressures. Firing 17 HMR ammo in a 17 WSM rifle risks dangerous pressure spikes and potential firearm damage. Always use only the ammunition your rifle is chambered for.
