Supplied with 50 × S&B .357 Magnum FMJ 158 gr cartridges Frequently asked questions What does FMJ mean? FMJ stands for Full Metal Jacket. The bullet’s lead core is enclosed by a metal jacket, reducing direct contact between the lead core and the barrel. This bullet is not designed for controlled expansion and is primarily intended for training and target shooting. Can this cartridge be fired in a .38 Special revolver? No. A .357 Magnum cartridge is longer and operates at a higher pressure than .38 Special. It must only be fired in a firearm specifically marked and approved for .357 Magnum ammunition. Can .38 Special ammunition be fired in a .357 Magnum revolver? Many .357 Magnum revolvers are approved by their manufacturers for .38 Special ammunition, but compatibility must be confirmed in the firearm’s instruction manual. The reverse combination is not permitted. Are .357 Magnum and .357 SIG interchangeable? No. They are dimensionally and mechanically different cartridges. S&B V311392 is intended only for firearms chambered in .357 Magnum. Is this +P ammunition? No. The manufacturer lists the cartridge as non-+P. This does not make it suitable for firearms chambered in lower-pressure or dimensionally different cartridges. Is this ammunition intended for hunting? The manufacturer recommends it for range and match or competition use. Its FMJ bullet is not designed for controlled expansion, so hunting requires ammunition with a bullet construction and legal classification appropriate to the intended application. Will every firearm produce 385 m/s? No. The stated velocity was obtained from a 150 mm test barrel. A shorter revolver barrel may produce a lower velocity, and results can vary between individual firearms and ammunition lots. When is S&B .357 Magnum FMJ the right choice? This cartridge is suited to shooters who want a conventional 158-grain full-metal-jacket load for regular practice with a .357 Magnum revolver, rifle or carbine. Its FMJ construction, brass case and manufacturer-listed reliable functioning make it a practical choice for target and competition use. Select ammunition with an appropriate expanding bullet when controlled expansion is required. The chosen cartridge must always comply with the firearm manufacturer’s specifications and applicable legislation. Expert recommendation Before use, verify the calibre marking on the firearm’s barrel or chamber. Do not select ammunition solely by bullet diameter, as .357 Magnum, .357 SIG and .38 Special have different case dimensions and operating pressures. Reconfirm the firearm’s point of impact whenever changing ammunition brand or bullet construction. FMJ and SP loads of the same nominal weight can group differently in the same firearm. Clean the bore and chambers after use in accordance with the firearm manufacturer’s instructions. Traditional 158-grain range ammunition S&B .357 Magnum FMJ combines a 10.25 g full-metal-jacket bullet with a manufacturer-specified muzzle velocity of 385 m/s and muzzle energy of 760 J. It is a practical choice for regular training, target shooting and competition with a firearm chambered in .357 Magnum.
