Solved from this product's advertised 1235 fps, 158gr bullet and G1 BC 0.145, with the sight 0.5" over the bore at standard conditions. Compare every zero for .357 Mag.
How to read it: filled circles are the near and far zero, where the bullet's path crosses the line of sight;the triangle is the peak (max ordinate). The shaded band is the 4" vital zone, ±2" either side of the line of sight. The dashed line marks the edge of the hold-dead-on window. The chart is zoomed to where the zero matters; the tables below run to 100 yards.

Product Overview
Remington Performance WheelGun 158-grain LSWC is a lead semi-wadcutter .357 Magnum load made for target shooting. Remington calls the bullet a Lead Semi-Wadcutter, a plain cast bullet with a square shoulder and a flat nose. At 1,235 fps it makes 535 ft-lbs.
Zeroed at 25 yards, it is 1.1 inches low at 50, still moving 1,103 fps with 427 ft-lbs. The soft bullet does nothing to the recoil, which is full magnum at this weight and velocity, so a long paper session is still a long paper session.
If you're cross-shopping, Sellier & Bellot's 158-grain FMJ is the jacketed load at the same bullet weight, 28 fps faster at 1,263 fps with 25 ft-lbs more at the muzzle and about 4 percent more estimated recoil.
- Remington names target shooting for it and calls the bullet a Lead Semi-Wadcutter
- 427 ft-lbs still at 50 yards from a load sold for paper
- The 158-grain weight that most of the caliber's loads are built around
- An unjacketed lead bullet at 1,235 fps, which some indoor ranges restrict
- Full magnum recoil for paper work, where a .38 Special load in the same revolver asks far less
- Remington states no test barrel length for the 1,235 fps
