The Magtech 357A delivers consistent performance for .357 Magnum training and range sessions with its 158-grain semi-jacketed soft point flat design. This ammunition provides reliable feeding and extraction while maintaining accuracy standards required for skill development and practice shooting.
What Makes This Different
The semi-jacketed soft point flat construction combines controlled expansion characteristics with flat trajectory performance. Unlike full metal jacket rounds that can over-penetrate, the SJSP design offers moderate expansion while maintaining structural integrity. The 158-grain weight matches traditional .357 Magnum loads, providing authentic recoil and ballistic characteristics for realistic training scenarios.

Range testing shows consistent groupings at 25 and 50 yards with minimal flyers when fired from quality revolvers.
