PPU Handgun Defense .357 Magnum ammunition (part no. PPD357) loads a 158-grain JHP bullet, built for self defense/EDC carry. The hollow point cavity opens on impact, expanding the bullet diameter to increase the wound channel. The brass case is built for reliable extraction and consistent ignition, box after box. It is a natural fit for concealed carry and home-defense guns where terminal performance is the whole point, sold here as a handgun ammunition load.

Key Specifications

• The chambering is .357 Magnum, so double-check it against your firearm’s barrel markings before ordering.
• The bullet weighs 158 grains, a weight that drives trajectory, recoil, and terminal energy downrange.
• The bullet is a JHP, a projectile built to expand rather than pass through.
• That expansion increases the wound channel diameter, transferring energy faster than a non-expanding bullet.
• The case is Brass, which extracts and ejects cleanly, round after round.
• Brass cases can be resized, reprimed, and reloaded, stretching the cost of practice ammunition over multiple firings for handloaders.
• Muzzle velocity runs 1607 fps, driving flat trajectory and terminal energy.
• Each box holds 50 rounds, the count you are ordering on this page.
• The box ships at 1.88 lbs, the shipping weight for this box.
