Product Overview

Federal's American Eagle .357 Magnum load brings classic performance to the modern shooter. The 158-grain JSP bullet launches at 1240 fps, delivering 539 ft-lbs of authority downrange - numbers that translate into real-world effectiveness without punishing recoil. This traditional configuration has proven itself through decades of field use, and Federal's modern manufacturing keeps it relevant for today's demanding shooters.

Step into deer country with this load, and you'll appreciate how the jacketed soft point drives through brush and bone. The controlled expansion characteristics mean you won't lose performance to premature breakup, while still creating substantial wound channels. For property defense, especially in areas where feral hogs or predators threaten livestock, these rounds offer the penetration needed for larger threats while remaining controllable in quick-handling revolvers.

Want to build serious wheelgun skills? This load helps you develop proper magnum-handling technique without emptying your wallet. The moderate pressure means less wear on your classic Smith & Wesson or cherished family heirloom, while still providing the full magnum experience. Load up a cylinder full for the range, keep some ready for four-legged threats, or pack it along during hunting season - this versatile performer handles it all without compromise. Your grandfather's .357 never had it so good.
