Product Overview
This Sellier & Bellot .357 Mag load hits mark for serious range training and competitive shooting. The 158-grain FMJ configuration, paired with its 1263 fps velocity, delivers the authoritative recoil profile you need to master your magnum-frame revolvers without the premium price of defensive hollow points. When you're running high-volume drills or preparing for match day, this practical loading pattern closely mirrors the feel of premium defensive ammunition.
The brass casing and moderate pressure load make this cartridge particularly valuable for shooters running older revolvers or those who demand consistent extraction after rapid-fire strings. The 560 ft-lbs of muzzle energy provides enough feedback for meaningful practice while remaining manageable for extended sessions. If you're transitioning from .38 Special to .357 Magnum, this loading serves as an ideal stepping stone - potent enough to build proper magnum-handling skills but controlled enough to prevent developing flinch response during high-round-count training.
- Moderate velocity of 1263 fps makes it ideal for range practice with manageable recoil
- 560 ft-lbs muzzle energy delivers reliable performance for target shooting
- Cost-effective choice for high-volume training sessions
- FMJ projectile limits defensive applications where expansion is needed
- Velocity is lower than some comparable 158gr offerings in this category
- Energy transfer may be insufficient for serious hunting applications
