The Sellier & Bellot .357 Magnum 158gr SJHP load comes as a box of 50 rounds of revolver ammunition loaded with a 158-grain semi-jacketed hollow point bullet (Sellier & Bellot part no. SB357C). Sellier & Bellot says the bullet delivers excellent terminal performance from its controlled expansion and high weight retention. The maker rates it at 1,329 fps and 619 ft-lb from a 6-inch test barrel, and lists it as not +P. That is faster than the maker’s 158-grain full metal jacket in the same chambering, which is rated at 1,263 fps.
