Sellier & Bellot .357 Mag 158gr SJHP Ballistics
Brass Case • SJHP • MPN: SB357C
Solved from this product's advertised 1329 fps, 158gr bullet and G1 BC 0.184, 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
Sellier & Bellot 158-grain SJHP is a semi-jacketed hollow point .357 Magnum load, and S&B names no single use for it. A semi-jacketed hollow point carries bare lead around its cavity, not copper. At 1,329 fps it makes 619 ft-lbs, the most of the caliber's standard 158-grain expanding loads.
Zeroed at 25 yards, it is 0.9 inch low at 50, where it still carries 1,201 fps and 506 ft-lbs, more than any other standard 158-grain expanding load in the caliber. Estimated recoil is the firmest of them to match.
If you're cross-shopping, S&B's own 158-grain Soft Point is 66 fps slower at 1,263 fps with 59 ft-lbs less, on a bare lead nose instead of a cavity. Hornady's Custom 158-grain XTP is 79 fps slower at 1,250 fps and 71 ft-lbs behind.
- 43 ft-lbs more at 50 yards than Hornady's Custom 158-grain XTP and Sellier & Bellot's own Soft Point hold there
- S&B states its own test barrel length and publishes metric figures, which most makers in the caliber do not
- The fastest of the caliber's standard 158-grain expanding loads, and the flattest with it
- S&B names no use for it, so there is nothing stated about what it is built to do
- Exposed lead ahead of the cavity, where Hornady's Custom 158-grain XTP is jacketed to the nose
- Blazer Brass 158-grain is about 22 percent softer in the same revolver, if full-house magnum recoil is the problem
