Title: Re: in need of .357 magnum rounds Post by: Hog Dog Mike on December 30, 2009, 09:02:44 pm I have never seen a 300 grain bullet in a 357 and would seriously doubt that they make one. You can get a 300 grain bullet in a 44 magnum.
The most popular load for the 357 is 158-160 grain. Title: Re: in need of .357 magnum rounds Post by: hogdoggerdude14 on December 30, 2009, 09:32:17 pm Yeah I couldent find one either but I thought I wasn't looking hard enough

Title: Re: in need of .357 magnum rounds Post by: owenkennels on December 30, 2009, 10:10:26 pm they have a ballistic tip on them which helps them shoot more accurate especially at a longer distance. the hollow points will have a pretty big drop on them at farther distances.
Title: Re: in need of .357 magnum rounds Post by: hogdoggerdude14 on December 30, 2009, 10:13:47 pm I gana be 50 yds or less so will that point give a good impact shot
Title: Re: in need of .357 magnum rounds Post by: owenkennels on December 30, 2009, 10:18:10 pm yes it will actually penetrate better than the hollow point and take a hog out alot better
Title: Re: in need of .357 magnum rounds Post by: hogdoggerdude14 on December 30, 2009, 10:21:19 pm Sounds good I leaning tords those but do u recamend any other

Title: Re: in need of .357 magnum rounds Post by: owenkennels on December 30, 2009, 10:37:44 pm take down power for some reason those rounds seem to hit harder and take watever ur hunting down better
Title: Re: in need of .357 magnum rounds Post by: hogdoggerdude14 on December 30, 2009, 10:52:06 pm Cool those sound like good places to look
thnks very much :) Title: Re: in need of .357 magnum rounds Post by: WAARHEID on December 31, 2009, 01:35:40 am I have the same rifle, and am looking for the same thing...
I've been shooting a 12ga with hydra-shok slugs (they're only sold to law enforcement... don't ask). I've stuck with them because they've instantly folded every pig I've shot with them... and since I'm shooting over the dogs, that's exactly what I want. But I'm taking a buddy to Caney Creek and he wants to use my shotgun, so I'll be using the lever gun. So I've been thinking why not stick with what has worked in the shotgun and get 357 hydra-shoks for the marlin? But this post has me wondering now... Anyone here tried 357 hydra-shoks on pigs? Were they good/bad/indifferent? Title: Re: in need of .357 magnum rounds Post by: WAARHEID on December 31, 2009, 02:14:29 am http://www.firearmstactical.com/ammo_data/357magnum.htm |
