50rds – 357 Mag HSM Bear Load 180gr. RNFPGC Ammo

HSM Ammunition 180 Grain Lead Round Nose (LRN) Ammo Details

Hold on a second there, Hoss. We market this 357 Magnum ammo for self-defense, although it is not intended for defense against standard two-legged threats. It’s actually designed to teach bears important lessons in manners – and this is your chance to order a box with fastola shipping!

Most defensive ammo is loaded with JHP bullets, which expand to (A) amplify trauma, and (B) reduce the risk of over-penetration. THIS ammo is loaded with special non-expanding round nose flat point gas check (RNFPGC) bullets, which are designed to tunnel as deeply as possible into a bear’s thick and muscular body. That increases the bullet’s odds of reaching a vital organ. The RNFPGC is nearly certain to go clean through a human, though, which alongside its inability to expand makes it a poor choice for EDC in urban environments.

The bullet’s gas check is a gasket at its base. It only serves a purpose during ignition, which is when it helps create a closer seal against the bore than the lead bullet could have done on its own. The payoff? More efficient ignition, and therefore higher-velocity impact. The bear will be very sorry to have inconvenienced you.
