Allstar/Magnus Bullets .38/357 cal .357" 200 gr RNFB 500/ct

Magnus cast bullets in .38/357 caliber deliver a reliable, economical foundation for reloading .38 Special and .357 Magnum rounds. These 200-grain round-nose flat-base projectiles are engineered for handgun shooters who want dependable performance without the cost premium of jacketed ammunition. Whether you're working up loads for target practice, small-game hunting, or defensive shooting, cast bullets offer the flexibility to tailor velocity and accuracy to your specific firearm and shooting discipline.

Manufactured from a carefully balanced alloy of 91% lead, 4% tin, and 5% antimony, Magnus bullets strike the hardness sweet spot: tough enough to handle velocities up to 1200 feet per second without leading your bore, yet soft enough to deform predictably on impact rather than fracturing against steel targets or barricades. This composition makes them a solid choice for shooters who push their reloads a bit harder or practice regularly at ranges with steel backstops.

The round-nose, flat-base design is a proven performer in lever guns, revolvers, and semi-automatic pistols chambered for these versatile cartridges. Each box contains 500 bullets, giving you plenty of inventory for serious reloaders or those setting up a new load development project. Magnus bullets reward attention to detail in the reloading process—consistent powder charges, primer selection, and seating depth yield the accuracy and reliability that handgun hunters and competitive shooters depend on.

Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What calibers will these Magnus cast bullets work in?

These .357" diameter, 200-grain bullets are designed for .38 Special, .357 Magnum, and other handgun platforms that chamber .38/357 ammunition. They also work in compatible lever-action rifles. Always verify bore diameter and proper seating in your specific firearm before loading.

Will Magnus cast bullets lead my barrel?

The alloy composition (91% lead, 4% tin, 5% antimony) is hardened enough to handle velocities up to 1200 FPS in most handguns with little to no leading. Bore leading also depends on bore condition, proper sizing, and powder charge—attention to reloading technique will keep leading minimal.

Can I shoot these at steel targets?

Yes. Unlike softer cast bullets, Magnus bullets are formulated to resist shattering when they strike steel targets, making them safer and more practical for backers and steel-target practice. Always wear appropriate eye protection regardless of bullet type.

How many bullets come in a box?

Each box contains 500 bullets, giving you a solid supply for load development, practice sessions, or building inventory for regular shooting.
