Buffalo Bore Ammunition 357 Sig 125 Grain Barnes TAC-XP Hollow Point Low Flash Lead-Free 20RD

Buffalo Bore's 357 Sig 125 Grain Barnes TAC-XP hollow point ammunition is built for shooters who demand serious terminal performance without the environmental or range concerns that come with traditional lead projectiles. Whether you're running this through a competition pistol, a duty-sized carry gun, or a specialty defensive setup, this load pairs a proven bullet design with Buffalo Bore's reputation for consistent, honest ammunition—no marketing fluff, just rounds that shoot hard and perform predictably.

The Barnes TAC-XP hollow point is a lead-free projectile engineered to expand reliably across a range of velocities while maintaining excellent penetration. At 125 grains, this round sits at the lighter end of the 357 Sig spectrum, which means faster velocities and reduced recoil compared to heavier loads—useful if you're working with a compact slide or prefer flatter shooter recovery. The low-flash designation keeps muzzle signature down in low-light scenarios, a practical advantage for defensive or tactical applications where blast signature matters.

This is ammunition built by people who actually use 357 Sig handguns, not a generic catalog offering. Buffalo Bore loads each round to exacting standards, and the lead-free construction doesn't mean you're sacrificing ballistic performance—Barnes projectiles are trusted by hunters and serious shooters worldwide for their track record on game and ballistic gel tests. If you run suppressed, train frequently indoors, or simply prefer non-toxic ammunition, this load delivers the speed and stopping geometry without compromise.

Each box contains 20 rounds, packaged to shoot, zero excuses.
