Product Overview

PMC's Bronze .357 Mag load delivers serious authority with its 158gr JSP configuration, pushing impressive velocities that translate to real-world effectiveness. At 1471 fps, this round packs enough punch for both defensive situations and medium game hunting, particularly when you're working within 50 yards. The jacketed soft point design ensures controlled expansion while maintaining enough penetration to get the job done, whether you're facing a defensive scenario or tracking deer in dense brush.

What sets this round apart is its practical versatility backed by consistent performance. When you need to transition from range practice to field use, this load maintains point-of-impact consistency that lets you train with the same rounds you'll carry. The brass casing and moderate pressure levels make it especially suitable for revolvers like the Ruger GP100 or Smith & Wesson 686, where you'll appreciate the manageable recoil during extended practice sessions. For hunters who prefer handgun hunting in thick cover, the 158gr weight offers enough momentum to push through light brush without excessive deflection.

The 759 ft-lbs of muzzle energy positions this round right in the sweet spot for serious applications while remaining controllable enough for follow-up shots. When your day starts at the range and might end in the field, this ammunition proves its worth without requiring you to swap loads. The brass construction ensures reliable feeding and extraction, while PMC's consistent loading practices deliver the kind of predictable performance that experienced shooters demand.
