Aguila Ammunition .357 Magnum 158 Grain Semi-Jacketed Soft Point - Precision Performance for Hunting & Target Shooting

Aguila .357 Magnum 158 grain semi-jacketed soft point ammunition delivers reliable, hard-hitting performance for handgun hunters and serious shooters who demand consistency. The copper semi-jacketed soft-point design expands reliably on impact, making it a capable choice for hunting medium game and controlled target work. Loaded to a muzzle velocity of 1545 feet per second, these rounds offer the balance of energy and accuracy that experienced shooters expect from a proven caliber.

Built with a 158-grain projectile—the classic weight for .357 Magnum—this ammunition generates 838 foot-pounds of muzzle energy, retaining 361 foot-pounds at 100 yards. That energy retention matters when you're taking longer handgun shots or need dependable performance at distance. The semi-jacketed soft-point construction promotes controlled expansion without excessive fragmentation, which translates to more predictable terminal performance and easier cleanup on game.

Aguila has been manufacturing affordable, quality ammunition for decades, and this .357 round carries that reputation. Whether you're working up loads for a hunting trip, spending time at the range, or stocking reliable defensive rounds, these cartridges offer straightforward, no-nonsense performance. Packaged 50 rounds per box in cases of 1,000, Aguila .357 Magnum ammunition is built for shooters who appreciate value without cutting corners on reliability.
