The 357 Magnum is one of the final words on self-defense – even if its creator eventually poo-pooed it in favor of his newer 44 Mag. But if you keep a big chunk of steel chambered for 357 Mag handy for the all-important job of personal protection, then Remington HTP ammo is going to earn your sound approval.
This round sticks to the basics to get the job done. Its conventional weight 158 grain projectile achieves a muzzle velocity of 1,235 fps out of a full-sized revolver’s barrel. Its force on impact alone would buckle any human-sized threat. But the HTP round’s semi-jacketed hollow point makes full use of its available power by delivering tremendous expansion. It consistently expands to over 0.7” in diameter while its semi-jacket keeps the bullet intact so it can achieve the optimal penetration depth.
This round’s new brass case, Kleanbore primer and clean-burning powder are all engineered to promote reliable performance in any firearm. Lever guns can fire this ammo too – its flat nose bullets are safe for a tubular mag!
