357 Mag – 130 Gr MonoFlex – Hornady Handgun Hunter (9052) – 250 Rounds

This .357 Magnum load (9052) delivers controlled expansion and reliable performance for small game hunting. The 130 grain MonoFlex bullet is built with a solid copper alloy construction and a flexible polymer tip. As a result, it expands consistently while retaining weight. In addition, the monolithic design reduces fragmentation. Therefore, it drives straight and maintains structural integrity through impact.

Hornady rates this load at 1,250 fps muzzle velocity and 451 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. That combination supports manageable recoil and stable shot placement. Consequently, it works well for small game and lighter-bodied targets where precision matters more than raw force. The lighter 130 grain weight also helps maintain velocity without excessive recoil. So, shooters can stay on target for follow-up shots when needed.

The MonoFlex design offers another advantage. Because it uses a polymer tip, it improves feeding reliability in lever-action platforms. At the same time, it enhances ballistic consistency compared to traditional flat-nose bullets. This makes it a versatile option for both revolvers and carbines chambered in .357 Magnum.

Packaging is straightforward and efficient. Each box contains 25 rounds. Each case includes 10 boxes, totaling 250 rounds. This structure supports organized storage and controlled use. You can open individual boxes for range time while keeping the rest sealed. Moreover, Hornady uses brass casings and Boxer primers, allowing for reloading and long-term value retention.

For the buyer, the purpose is clear. You get a lightweight monolithic hunting bullet. You get consistent expansion with solid weight retention. And you get a 250-round case that supports ongoing practice and field use without constant resupply.
