Heavy 357 Magnum Pistol and Handgun Ammo

SKU: 19A/20

Overview

Heavy 357 Magnum Ammo - 180 gr. L.F.N. -G.C. (1,400fps/M.E. 783 ft. lbs.) - 20 Round Box

Our 357 mag. ammo adds more power than ever before to the 357 mag. This ammo is safe to shoot in ANY all steel 357 revolver - this includes J frames. This ammo is no harder on your gun than any other normal 357 ammo. Please don't phone us and ask if this ammo is safe in your gun. It is, providing your gun is in safe condition for use with any normal 357 ammo.

We don't recommend this ammo to be fired in super light alloy revolvers as bullets may jump crimp under recoil, but the ammo itself wont hurt these super light weight revolvers. These revolvers are simply so light that the recoil is severe enough to cause crimp jump.

The below velocities are offered so that you can see what guns/barrel lengths give what velocities with this new 357 mag. ammo. You'll notice that new S&W revolvers with short barrels are often shooting faster than older S&W revolvers with longer barrels. The new S&W revolvers are very good and are made with equipment that makes them more consistent and faster than the S&W revolvers of yesteryear.

Make special note of the Marlin 1894, 18.5 inch barrel velocities. Item 19C/20, supercedes 30-30 energies!!!

This was the forth Buffalo Bore round I tested. The other three, 270 Grain 44 mag., 158 grain heavy 357 mag, 158 grain short-barrel 357 are all best in their class. The 180 grain heavy 357 is more of the same. I don't recommend carrying a 357 in bear country, but the ballistics from this guy are enough to give you a fighting chance. Out of a 6" barrel your pushing 800 Ft. Lbs. This is fabulous. Out of my 3" SmIth, this round pushes 1400 FPS. The old timers say that for protection from bear you need a 200 grain slug traveling at least 900 FPS. The old 45 colt with 260 grains at 960 FPS was good enough to get the job done. This round is even better.

Thanks for a great product. This past weekend I bagged a 110 pound doe and a 200 pound hog with my New Model Blackhawk using your 180 grain heavy 357 magnum ammo. Neither animal took another step. I was a little concerned after reading many peoples opinion that a 357 magnum is not powerful enough for deer and hogs. Not any longer. I will not hesitate to use my 357 with your ammo in the future. Thanks

Hello Buffalo Bore-

I wanted to know if I could have a tracking number for this order.....

Also, I wanted to thank you for the great ammo. My friend and I just came back from a hog hunt were I bagged a 300 lb sow with the 180 gr. Heavy 357 Magnum Buffalo Bore round. My friend Ralph, bagged a 425 lb boar using the Buffalo Bore 405 gr. 45/70 Magnum ammo. In both cases, the ammo worked perfectly. I only wish that you had the heavy 30-30 round ready.

Again, thank you and keep up the good work

Bob
