50rds - 357 Mag Remington HTP 158gr. SJHP Ammo

50rds - 357 Mag Remington HTP 158gr. SJHP Ammo Details

These cartridges from Remington's High Terminal Performance (HTP) line are a great choice for self-defense and light hunting with your wheel and lever guns chambered in .357 Magnum. HTP rounds are assembled using premium components including non-corrosive Boxer primers, clean-burning powder, and reloadable brass casings. With these particular cartridges, the casings are nickel-coated for longevity as well as smooth extraction from cylinders and chambers.

Each round will propel a 158 grain semi-jacketed hollow-point (SJHP) projectile at 1,235 feet per second out of a four inch barrel. 158 grains is on the heavier side for factory .357 Magnum and combines with the standard pressure charge to deliver a balance of high energy and manageable recoil. SJHP bullets have a larger portion of exposed lead than modern JHPs which aids in causing impact expansion when velocity is diminished due to a short barrel or heavy clothing.
