The 158-grain weight is the classic standard-pressure load for the .357 Mag—a proven balance between velocity, energy, and controllability in defensive revolvers and lever-actions alike. PPU's proprietary jacketing on the hollow point is designed to support consistent expansion and retain bullet density through intermediate barriers.
