Bulk 357 Magnum Ammo For Sale
Overview of Bulk 357 Magnum Ammo
The 357 Magnum was the first magnum handgun cartridge. Elmer Keith and Phillip Sharpe built it in the mid-1930s by lengthening the 38 Special case and loading it with more powder, and Smith & Wesson brought it to market as a law enforcement round that could punch through the cover Prohibition-era criminals hid behind. Nearly a century later, it is still one of the most trusted revolver cartridges for self-defense, hunting, and target shooting.
Because the 357 Magnum case is longer than the 38 Special, a 357 revolver will also fire 38 Special, but not the other way around. Full-power 357 loads push a 158 grain bullet at around 1,235 fps, and our 357 Magnum ballistics charts cover velocity, energy, and bullet drop for every factory load we could find. Buying 357 Magnum ammo in bulk keeps the range bag full without paying box prices every trip.

What are the advantages of buying bulk 357 Magnum ammo?
- Lower cost per round: Cases of 250 to 1,000 rounds bring the price of each round down compared to buying the same load by the box.
- Always range-ready: Bulk buying ensures you’re well-stocked and ready for the range at any time, safeguarding against supply chain disruptions.
- Less frequent reordering: Buying in bulk reduces the need for frequent reordering, giving you peace of mind with a steady supply of ammo.
- Improved shooting consistency: Consistent ammo supply helps maintain accuracy and performance by eliminating variations between different batches. Defensive shooters can stock their carry load the same way, since our 357 Magnum hollow point ammo comes in 200 to 600 round cases.

Bought 100 rounds of .357 Mags for my 686, once the cylinder rotated around to the spent cartridges it would no longer rotate past them. Once I did get the cylinder open I could not get the spent cartridges out and had to tap them out backwards from the front of the cylinder with a rod. That being said, the 4 rounds that I got fired performed well LOL.

If you have a revolver ,,, Do NOT buy this ammo. I have a S & W 686 and every round hangs up in the cylinder!!!

The product presents a good value. I'm a newbie to target shooting, but I did notice that these shells stick in my S&W 357 magnum requiring a small block or something other than my soft hand to knock them out. Brass shells don't do that. I've had a couple of duds in about 200 rounds, but they shoot the second time around. I will buy this product again.

Excellent ammo. Shot several hundred rounds from from my GP-100, Ruger Redhawk .357, and Henry Big Boy Steel with no problems. Great ballistics, and very accurate. Will buy again.

Easy to order online. I get it 5-7 days; I live in NJ. Ammo always fires, no duds. I also like the history of the bullet and caliber, how it came to be. This is the only place I get my ammo from.

This particular ammo has significantly jumped in price. Now that I am shooting it accurately from 5 to 30 yards l will slow down on running it through my 158 gr Hp. Great hard hitting energy transfer.

Dan said:
Extreme performance and superior energy transfer into target

Shadow said:
Fired around 100 rounds from a 1854 lever action. Rounds failed to feed or got stuck every now and then. Unsure of whether that's due to the rifle being new or the ammo not being good

F said:
Ammo it loded hot just how I like it. Yes its not HP or JHP but since it has significantly more energy than avg 357 Magnum Ammo I feel I dont need it to be HP to get good effect. Also its among the least expensive Brass .357 Magnum Ammo while still performing quite well. What's not to like?

Before I found this website I ordered from somewhere else and had an awful experience and had to wait 6 months to finally get my order and decided I wouldn’t buy online again. But I gave this a shot and am extremely glad I did. My order shipped right away and got here in like a week and I’m so excited

Good ammo.

Paul said:
I didn't really like the shape of these SWC. I would prefer Keith design for LSWC, So I decided to build my own with the age old 4.2 Bulleseye charge and 158 Gr Keith SWC shaped bullets.

I bought a new Colt King Cobra. The owner's manual suggests I use only factory built ammo. This model is satisfactory ammo for this revolver.
