Common Uses of 357 Magnum Ammo
Compared to many other popular pistol rounds, the .357 Magnum is actually relatively new to the market. Introduced in 1934, the .357 Mag outperformed the vast majority of old revolver cartridges then in use by law enforcement and quickly became a favorite among police officers due to its impressive performance. Though mostly retired from police work due to the rise of semiautomatic handguns in that field, .357 Magnum ammo is still widely used for target shooting, concealed carry, home defense, and occasionally (and somewhat anachronistically) cowboy action shooting.[Read More]

A powerful cartridge with a kick to match, the .357 Magnum fires a weight bullet of 110-158 grains at a muzzle velocity of about 1,200 to 1,500 feet per second in revolvers. Compared to other handgun calibers, this is a medium weight bullet fired at a high velocity. Long guns (typically lever actions) firing .357 Magnum ammunition achieve even higher velocities and can excel at close to medium range hunting against game of appropriate size.
