About
The .357 AutoMag Ammo is based on the design of the .44 AutoMag Ammo. The .44 was necked down to a .35 caliber Ammo to create the .357 AutoMag Ammo and was created and introduced into the markets in 1973. The .357 AutoMag Ammo pushed the 158-grain bullet variant at a muzzle velocity of 1,600 feet per second and the 110-grain bullet variant at over 1,900 feet per second when the cartridges were loaded to maximum performance. This is pretty fast for a .35 caliber cartridge. This speed allowed the .357 AutoMag Ammo to be successfully used for hunting purposes, and the different variants made it a versatile round, able to take down different animal species. The overall length of the .357 AutoMag Ammo is 1.60 inches, and the bullet diameter of the cartridge is .357 inches. The heaviest variant of the .357 AutoMag Ammo is the 158 JSP grain bullet that can travel at a velocity of 1,635 feet per second while creating an energy level of 940 ft.lbf.
