20 Round Box

ITEM 19A

Our 357 mag. ammo adds more power than ever before to the 357 magThis 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 or email us and ask if this ammo is safe in your gun. It is, providing your gun is in a safe condition for use with any normal 357 ammo.

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

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 supersedes 30-30 energies!!!

I tried the 180 grain outdoorsman ammo back in November to cull wild hogs with my Ruger 77/357 rifle. I normally load my own ammo; but decided to give these a try. I took 4 hogs ranging from 60 to 170 pounds. All were shot in the head/neck and were instantly killed. Very accurate and powerful ammo.

Real heavy hitters. these 180 gr HCFN .357 Mag bullets run at just a tad over 1400 fps from my 4" Kimber K6S Combat. Impressive!

They are an absolute handful to shoot, but this load in my revolver will deal out some serious penetration, 40" in gel/flesh. Some new grips and some (rather expensive) practice made this loading my favorite 4-legged defensive cartridge.

It's got all the power I need and more for a woods gun here in Colorado. Good stuff.

Shot these in my Smith 4". Awesome power. Felt recoil and barrel flip were considerable which will hinder follow-ups on fast moving targets so make the first shot count. Sticky extraction so fast reloads unlikely. Lower velocity range ammo won't prepare you for this round. It is a BEAST. Bears be warned.

Very accurate out of a Ruger 5059. I use these to carry when in the back country of Colorado in case of black bear or moose attacks. Have not needed them yet, but I have then loaded just in case. The most accurate ammo I have fired out of my Ruger 5059. Shoots a little high, but I have my rear sight fully depressed, so not much I can do about that.

Ordered this for a gp100 4inch. Just got it in and ran a full cylinder through it. Let me tell you, whatever is on the receiving end of this is in trouble. I shot at a downed full-size oak tree and all shots plowed right through it. Recoil is very manageable provided you have a decent amount of firearm knowledge aka you know how to grip and handle firearms. This is the best ammo I've seen yet when it comes to .357.

Recently finished our 2021 antelope hunt. My wife used your ammo in her model 94 357rifle. She harvested a nice doe at 115yards. Complete pass through. Antelope just dropped.

Thank you for the great ammo. Helped her get het first lope.

My family have quite a few pistols and rifles in 357.
This 357 outdoorsman hits so much harder than any other 357 ammunition I%u2019ve owned. When my son goes on his mountain excursions I make sure these rounds are in his rifle. I feel better when he does!

Great deer and hog round. Out of a 16" lever action avg 1806 fps. Awesome stuff.
Greg on 09/14/2017 05:17pm
great deer round out of a 20in lever gun, at 30 yards both lungs and the heart were turned to jello. And it didn't destroy much meet.

Was glad to finally find a box of these at local cabelas. I wanted a whitetail hunting round for 357. Had just bought 14" cva single shot pistol and wanted to maximize it's effectiveness. I took two large deer this season, 6 point buck and older doe. Through the spine on the buck (shot was a little high at over 125yds), the doe shot entered through shoulder blade, through rib, under spine and exited through opposite side hind leg. Bullet path was amazingly strait through roughly 3ft of animal. I was thoroughly impressed. Both expired almost immediately. The ammo did it's job and I'm glad I wasn't dissuaded by Internet "experts"claiming 357 isn't enough for large deer. I'm a buffalo bore customer for life. I just wish there was a local store that sold a large assortment of the stuff. A

This is the best 357 magnum woods ammo, period. It out penetrates all others and is super accurate. I've even shot it out of my 2" barrel model 60 and it's controllable. It's super hard-hitting for ALL the game or threats you may encounter. A real winner.
