Frequently Asked Questions
Is this .357 Magnum ammo suitable for hunting deer or larger game?
Yes. The 158-grain soft point bullet is well-suited for hunting small to medium-sized game including whitetail deer, coyote, and wild hog at typical handgun ranges. The soft point construction promotes controlled expansion and deep penetration, making it an effective hunting round when used within ethical range limits — generally under 75 yards for handguns.
Will this ammunition work in my .357 Magnum revolver and lever-action carbine?
Absolutely. Any firearm chambered in .357 Magnum — including revolvers from Smith & Wesson, Ruger, and Colt, as well as lever-action carbines like the Marlin 1894 or Henry Big Boy — will chamber and fire this Sellier & Bellot load without issue. Note that .357 Magnum cartridges should not be used in firearms chambered only for .38 Special.
Are the brass cases reloadable, and are these rounds Boxer-primed?
Yes. Sellier & Bellot uses reloadable brass cases with Boxer primers in this load, making it handloader-friendly. Once fired, the cases can be resized, reprimed, and reloaded multiple times, which significantly reduces the long-term cost of shooting. The non-corrosive primer formulation also means standard cleaning practices are all that's needed after a range session.
