Buffalo Bore Tactical Short Barrel Ammunition 357 Magnum 158 Grain Jacketed Hollow Point 20RD

Buffalo Bore Tactical Short Barrel 357 Magnum ammunition delivers serious defensive performance from revolvers and short-barreled pistols where velocity often falls short of standard loadings. This 158-grain jacketed hollow point load is engineered specifically for the performance window of compact and snub-nose .357 Magnum firearms, where barrel length limits velocity. Whether you're running a classic short-barrel revolver for close-quarters defense or carry work, Buffalo Bore's tactical loading ensures expansion and penetration that standard full-power .357 rounds won't reliably deliver from shorter tubes.

Buffalo Bore has built a reputation for ammunition designed around real-world firearm applications rather than theoretical maximums. The Tactical line respects the physics of short-barrel ballistics—acknowledging that 2–3 inch barrels need a different approach than 4–6 inch service revolvers. The 158-grain hollow point configuration balances penetration with consistent expansion, a critical combination in defensive scenarios where both over- and under-performance create problems.

Each box contains 20 rounds, making it practical for defensive stockpiling, training evaluation, and duty rotation. For shooters running short-barrel .357 Magnum revolvers in defensive roles, this ammunition offers a purpose-built alternative to loads optimized for full-size barrels.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes this ammunition different from standard .357 Magnum loads?

Buffalo Bore's Tactical Short Barrel line is specifically designed for the ballistic environment of snub-nose and compact revolvers. Standard .357 Magnum ammunition is optimized for longer barrels; this loading ensures reliable performance and expansion from barrels typically 2–3 inches long, where velocity is naturally reduced.

Is this ammunition suitable for defensive carry in a short-barrel revolver?

Yes. The 158-grain hollow point configuration and Buffalo Bore's engineering focus on real-world revolver performance makes this ammunition well-suited for defensive applications in short-barrel .357 Magnum firearms.

How much ammunition is in each order?

Each box contains 20 rounds. Determine your total round count by multiplying the number of boxes you order by 20.
