The CorBon 357 Magnum 140 Grain JHP is the legendary hollow point load that established CorBon's reputation for hard-hitting, street-proven self-defense ammunition trusted by law enforcement and civilian carriers alike.
- 140-grain jacketed hollow point delivers a balanced blend of velocity and mass
- Muzzle velocity of 1,300 fps generates devastating terminal energy on target
- Internal and external serrations promote reliable, consistent bullet expansion
- Soft lead cavity initiates expansion even through heavy clothing or barriers
- Average penetration of 9–15 inches in ballistic gelatin meets FBI protocol standards
- 20 rounds per box with consistent brass casings for reliable feeding and extraction
Who This Is For
This load is ideal for shooters who carry a .357 Magnum revolver or lever-action for personal protection and demand proven stopping power without sacrificing controllability. It's equally well-suited for home defense, duty carry, and backcountry protection where reliable expansion and deep penetration are non-negotiable.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is CorBon 357 Magnum 140 gr JHP suitable for revolvers and lever-action rifles?
Yes. This load is compatible with any firearm chambered in .357 Magnum, including revolvers and lever-action carbines. The 140-grain bullet weight offers a slightly softer recoil impulse than heavier 158-grain loads while still delivering excellent terminal performance — making it a versatile choice across multiple platform types.
How does the CorBon JHP perform compared to other self-defense loads in 357 Magnum?
CorBon's JHP line is engineered for maximum terminal performance. The combination of internal and external bullet serrations with a soft lead hollow point cavity promotes aggressive, uniform expansion upon impact. With 9–15 inches of gelatin penetration, it falls within the FBI's recommended window, making it a credible self-defense choice that balances stopping power with reduced over-penetration risk.
Can I use this ammunition for range practice as well as self-defense carry?
While CorBon JHP ammunition is primarily optimized for self-defense and personal protection, many shooters use their carry load for periodic range sessions to verify function and build familiarity. However, due to its premium price point, most users reserve it for carry use and train with a comparable full metal jacket load for high-volume practice.
