357 Mag – 158 Gr XTP-HP – Hornady (90562) – 250 Rounds

This .357 Magnum load (90562) delivers controlled expansion and consistent accuracy for medium game hunting. The 158 grain XTP hollow point is engineered for balance. It expands reliably. At the same time, it maintains enough mass to penetrate effectively. As a result, it performs well on deer and similarly sized game within realistic handgun distances.

Hornady rates this load at 1,250 fps muzzle velocity and 548 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. That combination supports stable flight and dependable terminal performance. In addition, the XTP design uses a drawn gilding metal jacket with precise serrations. Therefore, expansion occurs in a controlled and repeatable manner. This is not a fragile hollow point. Instead, it is built to hold together and drive deeper than typical defensive bullets.

The 158 grain weight is a proven standard in .357 Magnum hunting loads. It balances recoil, velocity, and penetration. Consequently, shooters can maintain control while still delivering meaningful energy on target. Moreover, this load performs well in both revolvers and lever-action rifles. That flexibility adds value for hunters who run multiple platforms.

Packaging is clean and practical. Each box contains 25 rounds. Each case includes 10 boxes, totaling 250 rounds. This allows for structured range time, zero confirmation, and multiple hunts. You can open one box at a time and keep the rest sealed. In addition, Hornady uses brass casings and Boxer primers, making the brass reloadable and easy to process.

For the buyer, the purpose is clear. You get a proven XTP hunting bullet. You get controlled expansion with dependable penetration. And you get a 250-round case that supports consistent preparation and field use.
