Hits hard, beware spitting

by LER Bob, Verified Owner from NH, United States Written on December 11, 2024
This is a lead round with all that that implies. One of my .357 spits lead or hot gas back in to my face when I shoot these. My other two magnums don't do this and maybe it's cylinder gap but who can say. It's heavy and really just a a deep-penetrating non-expanding bear or deer hunting load (goes through any bone and still exits). Full power heavy .357 will recoil but it isn't a .44 you'll be fine in a full sized gun.

Cons:
  • Lead
  • Spits
