Description

Federal .357 Magnum ammunition (part no. P357SA) loads a 180-grain Swift A-Frame for hunters who want a proven bullet behind their favorite chambering. Federal has been a top American ammunition maker for decades, and this loading reflects the same attention to consistency found across its premium lines. A partition of solid copper separates a bonded front core from a rear core, so the bullet expands up front while the rear retains weight for deep, straight-line penetration. Nickel-plated-brass-cased and 20 to a box, it is built to feed reliably through everything from carry pistols to range and hunting handguns. In our handgun ammunition lineup, this .357 Magnum loading is a confirmed, dependable choice worth adding to the cart.
