Hornady’s Handgun Hunter line is engineered for demanding field conditions where performance has to be consistent and dependable. This .357 Magnum load blends rugged construction, refined bullet technology, and precise manufacturing standards to deliver reliability you can count on, whether it’s in your primary handgun or carried as a backup. Its penetration-focused design makes it well-suited for medium game, offering dependable expansion backed by the ability to push through hide, bone, and muscle.
At the core of the Handgun Hunter series is Hornady’s MonoFlex bullet. Constructed from a tougher copper alloy than traditional solid copper projectiles, the MonoFlex is designed to expand wide while retaining a high percentage of its weight. That strength allows it to hold together at .357 Magnum velocities, delivering controlled expansion and deep, straight-line penetration even at challenging angles. Paired with Hornady’s polymer flex tip, the design enhances ballistic efficiency and ensures reliable expansion on impact, helping deliver quick, effective results in the field.
This 130-grain load is built with a premium brass casing and a dependable Boxer primer, ensuring consistent ignition and smooth operation in both revolvers and carbines. Carefully selected powders maintain stable pressures and velocities, contributing to reliable accuracy shot after shot. With a muzzle velocity of 1250 fps and 451 ft-lbs of energy, it offers a balanced combination of speed and terminal performance without excessive recoil or blast.
Packaged in 25-round boxes, Handgun Hunter .357 Magnum ammunition is made for hunters who expect their gear to perform in tough environments. From its monolithic bullet construction to its high-quality components, this load is built for hard-hitting, dependable field use. It’s a solid choice for those who carry a .357 Magnum and demand ammunition that performs as confidently as they do.
The Hornady .357 Mag Handgun Hunter combines brass cases and MonoFlex bullets for reliable field performance.
