The Sellier & Bellot SB357A delivers consistent .357 Magnum performance with 158-grain full metal jacket bullets engineered for reliable feeding and penetration. This Czech-manufactured ammunition provides shooters with dependable ballistics at an economical price point.
What Makes This Different
Sellier & Bellot's 158-grain FMJ design offers deeper penetration than lighter bullets while maintaining manageable recoil in most .357 Magnum revolvers. The full metal jacket construction reduces lead fouling compared to cast bullets and feeds smoothly in lever-action rifles chambered for .357 Magnum. Factory-loaded to SAAMI specifications, this ammunition delivers muzzle velocities around 1,240 fps from a 4-inch barrel.
Key Features
- 158-grain full metal jacket bullets for consistent penetration
- Non-corrosive Boxer primers for reliable ignition
- Reloadable brass cases with consistent wall thickness
- Compatible with all .357 Magnum revolvers and carbines
- Bulk packaging reduces cost per round for high-volume shooting
- Quality control testing ensures consistent ballistic performance
- Lead-core construction with copper-plated jacket
Range sessions benefit from the FMJ's clean burning characteristics and reduced barrel leading. The 158-grain weight provides sufficient momentum for steel targets while remaining controllable for rapid follow-up shots. Law enforcement agencies often select similar FMJ loads for training due to their economical cost and consistent performance across different barrel lengths.
