Product Overview
Armscor's 158gr FMJ is a budget-friendly range load that runs hotter than most .357 Mag practice ammo. At 1,545 fps, it hits harder than competing 158gr FMJ options and delivers 823 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. Shooters who want full-power magnum practice without paying premium prices will find this load fills that gap. The round-nose FMJ profile is simple and feeds without issue in both revolvers and lever guns.
The higher velocity makes this a reasonable choice for informal steel plate shooting. The 823 ft-lbs of energy will ring steel targets with authority and gives the shooter a real sense of what full-house .357 Mag recoil feels like. Anyone preparing for a hunting season with a .357 revolver should train with loads at this power level. Dropping down to mild .38 Special for all your practice, then switching to full-power magnums in the field, leads to flinching and missed shots.
Armscor ammunition is manufactured in the Philippines and has a strong reputation for consistent quality at lower price points. The brass cases reload well for handloaders who want to recoup some cost. This is not a defensive or hunting load due to the non-expanding FMJ bullet, but it is one of the best values available for keeping your .357 Mag skills sharp between trips afield.
- Runs at 1,545 fps, which is notably faster than most 158gr FMJ range loads
- Affordable per-round cost makes high-volume practice realistic
- Brass cases are reloadable and in good condition after firing
- Recoil closely matches full-power hunting and defensive loads
- FMJ bullet offers no expansion for defensive or hunting use
- Stout recoil may be uncomfortable in lightweight snubnose revolvers
- Less widely stocked than Magtech or Fiocchi .357 Mag practice loads
