357 Magnum – 125 Grain JHP – Federal Train + Protect – 50 Rounds

The 357 Magnum was invented when a man picked up a 38 Special and figured he could do better. Story has it that the same man also once hit a mule deer at 600 yards with a 44 Magnum revolver. He knew what he was doing, which is why we use Elmer Keith’s magnum loads for self-defense nearly 100 years later.

This 357 Magnum self-defense cartridge is made by Federal, and as their Train + Protect load it offers virtually identical recoil and trajectory as the training round from the same label. Its 158 grain bullet is Federal’s own Versatile Hollow Point, which true to its name represents a practical method for dispatching with threats quickly. Its jacket prevents lead fouling and promotes deeper expansion, and its nose cavity is engineered to produce reliable expansion.

Federal has always been devoted to great technology, and they make great components because of it. This round features its manufacturer’s new production brass, and functions correctly with a sensitive primer and consistently loaded clean burning propellant.
