Hornady Handgun Hunter 357 Magnum 130 Grain MonoFlex Lead-Free Ammo - Box of 25

Hornady Handgun Hunter 357 Magnum 130 grain MonoFlex ammunition delivers the stopping power and reliability you need for defensive handgun work and hunting with a revolver. This lead-free round pairs Hornady's proven MonoFlex bullet technology with premium brass, primers, and propellant to create a cartridge built for real-world performance when it counts.

The MonoFlex projectile is engineered from a tough copper alloy that drives deep into targets while retaining 95% of its weight—a critical factor for consistent, predictable wound channels. What sets this load apart is Hornady's proprietary elastomer material in the bullet's open cavity. On impact, the elastomer compresses then expands outward, triggering faster, more reliable expansion than conventional hollow point designs across a wide range of velocities. That means better terminal performance whether you're shooting from a snub-nose carry gun or a full-length barrel.

If you rely on a 357 Magnum for protection or hunting, or you're looking for lead-free ammunition that doesn't compromise on terminal ballistics, this is a serious alternative to standard hollow points. The 130-grain weight keeps velocities controllable in short barrels while delivering the energy needed for ethical hunting of medium game and confident self-defense performance. Each box contains 25 rounds ready to load and shoot.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Hornady Handgun Hunter 357 Magnum ammo suitable for hunting?

Yes. The MonoFlex bullet's deep penetration and high weight retention make it appropriate for hunting applications with a 357 Magnum revolver. The 130-grain projectile delivers controlled expansion across various impact velocities.

What does lead-free mean, and why does it matter?

Lead-free ammunition uses a copper alloy bullet instead of a lead core. This is important in areas with lead ammunition restrictions and appeals to shooters concerned about lead exposure at the range or in the field.

Will this ammunition work in my 357 Magnum revolver?

This is 357 Magnum ammunition. Confirm your revolver is chambered in 357 Magnum. Do not use in guns chambered for other calibers. If you're uncertain, consult your firearm's manual or a qualified gunsmith.

How does the MonoFlex bullet compare to a standard hollow point?

The proprietary elastomer material in the MonoFlex cavity enables faster and more consistent expansion than conventional hollow point designs across a range of velocities, according to Hornady's design.
