357 Mag – 158 gr FMJ-FN – Magtech (357D) – 1000 Rounds

Practicing with 38 Special is easy, but anyone who carries or hunts with full power 357 Magnum loads also needs time with real magnum recoil. This listing is Magtech 357 Magnum 158 grain full metal jacket flat nose ammo, MPN 357D, sold as a 1,000 round case. It is a value supply for revolver owners and lever action fans who want to shoot true 357 power at range ammo prices.

Magtech rates this load at 1,235 fps with 535 ft-lbs of muzzle energy, which is full magnum velocity for a 158 grain bullet. That gives realistic recoil and muzzle blast for practice that prepares you for magnum hunting or defensive loads. The full metal jacket keeps fouling down, and the flat nose suits tube magazines in lever action rifles. Because the bullet does not expand, it is meant for target shooting and practice, not hunting or carry.

This ammunition fits firearms chambered in 357 Magnum, including the Smith and Wesson 686, 19, 27, and 66, Ruger GP100, SP101, Blackhawk, and Redhawk, Colt Python and King Cobra, Kimber K6s, and lever rifles such as the Henry Big Boy, Marlin 1894C, Rossi R92, and Winchester 1892 reproductions. A common question is whether 357 Magnum can be fired in a 38 Special revolver. No, never. Only firearms chambered for 357 Magnum should fire it. Another common question is how a 357 lever gun compares with a revolver. A rifle length barrel adds significant velocity and makes recoil feel much milder.

Magtech 357D is new production ammunition, not reloads. Magtech is part of the CBC group. It uses reloadable brass cases with boxer primers and non-corrosive components. The case contains 20 boxes of 50 rounds for 1,000 total from one lot, plenty for regular magnum practice with consistent point of impact. Regular magnum practice is the surest way to stay accurate with full power loads.
