Winchester Silvertip .357 Mag 145gr JHP Ballistics
Brass Case • JHP • MPN: W357ST
Solved from this product's advertised 1290 fps, 145gr bullet and G1 BC 0.163, 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
Winchester Silvertip 145-grain JHP is a jacketed hollow point .357 Magnum load made for self-defense. At 145 grains it falls between the caliber's common 125 and 158 weights. Winchester lists 1,290 fps for 536 ft-lbs.
Zeroed at 25 yards, it is 1.0 inch low at 50, where it still carries 1,156 fps and 430 ft-lbs. Estimated recoil sits between the caliber's two 140-grain loads, and under every 158-grain load it is set against.
If you're cross-shopping, Barnes' VOR-TX 140-grain XPB is 25 fps slower at 1,265 fps with 38 ft-lbs less at the muzzle, on a solid copper bullet. Hornady's LEVERevolution 140-grain FTX is 150 fps faster at 1,440 fps and 109 ft-lbs ahead.
- 430 ft-lbs still at 50 yards, more than Hornady's Critical Duty 135-grain FlexLock and Barnes' VOR-TX 140-grain XPB hold there
- About 11 percent less estimated recoil than Hornady's LEVERevolution 140-grain FTX
- A bullet weight no other load in the caliber uses, between the 140s and the 158s
- Winchester's product page carries no velocity or energy table for it, and the figures come from its own data service
- Sellier & Bellot's 158-grain SJHP carries 83 ft-lbs more at the muzzle
- Hornady's LEVERevolution 140-grain FTX is well clear of it at 50 yards on a lighter bullet
