20rds - 357 Mag Buffalo Bore 125gr. Barnes XPB HP Low Flash Short Barrel Ammo

20rds - 357 Mag Buffalo Bore 125gr. Barnes XPB HP Low Flash Short Barrel Ammo Details

This .357 Magnum ammunition is manufactured by Buffalo Bore. Designed as a “tactical” load, these rounds feature low flash powders to preserve valuable night vision. Also generating less felt recoil and blast than Buffalo Bore’s heavy .357 mag loads, this ammo offers better performance for lightweight short-barreled revolvers. However, this is still full powered .357 magnum ammunition that allows for faster shot recovery and improved shot-to-shot accuracy.



Each round produces a muzzle velocity of 1225 feet per second and a muzzle energy of 416 foot pounds. Cartridge are loaded with a 125 grain Barnes XPB hollow point projectile. These lead-free bullets offer increased penetration over standard jacketed hollow points. With superior weight retention, energy transfer, and terminal expansion, Barnes XPB bullets are ideal for self-defense.



This ammunition is factory fresh, 100 percent non-corrosive, boxer primed, brass cased, and fully reloadable. Each package contains 20 rounds.
