357 Magnum Bullets for Reloading
This page contains 357 magnum bullets used by reloaders who load their own rounds. If you're looking for something ready to shoot, please head to our 357 magnum ammo page.The 357 Magnum is one of the most popular handgun cartridges ever created. Introduced by Smith & Wesson in 1935 as an improvement on the 38 Special, its case is approximately .12 inches longer than its predecessor – yet it can deliver up to three times greater energy. A fine choice for hunting, self-defense, and recreational shooting, it’s no wonder why even non-shooters know this whopper of a revolver cartridge by name.
It only stands to reason you should find a wide selection of 357 Mag bullets for reloading. 357 Mag bullets commonly weigh between 125 and 180 grains, although load data for even lighter .357 diameter bullets are available and 200 grain gas check bullets are often used for hunting. The heaviest 357 Mag loads can exert over 1,000 ft lbs of energy when fired out of a rifle barrel, putting the revolver round on par with the 223 Rem.
Full metal jackets are suitable for target practice as well as hunting light game when you want to minimize meat damage, and LRNs make especially economical target loads. High-tech monolithic copper bullets by manufacturers like Barnes are a great way to modernize the 357 Mag for compliance with laws that ban toxic projectiles.

Zero Bullet Company .357 Diameter Bullets - 125 Grain JHP – 500 Count
$56.85Cost Per Bullet 11.4¢ per bullet Product Type Bullets Bullet Weight 125 Grain Bullet Caliber 357 Mag, 357 Maximum, 38 Special Quantity 500 Bullet Type Jacketed Hollow-Point (JHP) Manufacturer Zero Bullet Manufacturer SKU R102 There’s something much more intimate about making your own personal defense loads. With them you’re telling your assailant that you took a little extra time and put special care into preparation for your meeting.
This .357” diameter projectile by Zero Bullet Company is a great way to show that you care. At only 125 grains it is perfect for making a low recoil round, just the kind that facilitates rapid and accurate follow-up shots. And as a jacketed hollow point, it’s able to penetrate its target reliably before unleashing wholly devastating expansion and energy release. It’s the kind of terminal performance that your attacker is bound to notice at once, but also the kind that lessens the chance of overpenetration putting bystanders in harm’s way.
This bullet features the toothed cannelure that makes it easier to set a crimping die, so you can be certain that your handloads will boast exemplary consistency. Zero Bullet Company is based in Alabama, where they’ve earned a lofty reputation among enthusiasts for their products’ great quality for the better part of the last century. -
Berry's .357 Diameter Bullets - 158 Grain Target HP – 1000 Count
$114.85Cost Per Bullet 11.5¢ per bullet Product Type Bullets Bullet Weight 158 Grain Bullet Caliber 357 Mag, 38 Special Quantity 1000 Bullet Type Hollow-Point (HP) Manufacturer Berry's Manufacturer SKU 63197 This is not loaded ammunition. These are component bullets, and they are solely intended for purchase by handloaders.
One thousand .357” diameter 158 grain bullets always make a great investment. Whether you love loading the loud and proud 357 Mag or its older brother the 38 Special, Berry’s has got you all taken care of!
This bullet is not designed for personal protection and is incapable of terminal expansion. The target hollow point is engineered to supply the accuracy sharpshooters need to do their best work. These bullets feature supremely concentric electroplated copper jackets, and their voidless lead cores only do more to enhance superior gyroscopic stability. Berry’s bullets are restruck following the electroplating process to ensure a solid bond between their cores and jackets, as well as their standardized dimensions.
Whether you use these bullets to load 1.580" OAL 357 Mag or 1.430" OAL 38 Spl, Berry’s warns against loading to a higher muzzle velocity than 1,250 fps – any faster and you risk component separation accompanied by weakened accuracy. These bullets are compatible with data for jacketed or cast bullets of the same weight and profile, and you may use either a roll or taper crimp. -
Armscor .357 Diameter Bullets - 158 Grain FMJ – 1500 Count
$189.85Cost Per Bullet 12.7¢ per bullet Product Type Bullets Bullet Weight 158 Grain Bullet Caliber 357 Mag, 357 Maximum, 38 Special Quantity 1500 Bullet Type Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) Manufacturer Armscor Manufacturer SKU 52280 Please note: These are component bullets, not loaded ammunition. You can not fire these bullets unless you load your own ammunition.
Armscor is earning themselves quite a reputation here in America. Their Rock Island Armory pistols fill a nice niche for people who don’t want to auction off vital organs just to be able to afford a 1911. Their 22 TCM cartridge has promise, even if most of the people asking about it only want to know if they can fire it in a firearm chambered for 22 LR. (No.) And their component bullets, which are produced according to precise tolerances, consistently weighted, and deliver good accuracy at the range, are sought after by handloaders throughout the country.
This meaty slab of .357” diameter bullets is just the ticket for handloaders specializing in 38 Special or 357 Mag. With 1,500 bullets you be able to load 250 six-shot cylinders worth of ammo, and as full metal jackets they’re at once clean shooting and economically designed. Armscor draws a concentric jacket for what is ostensibly a target grade bullet, so your shots will benefit from satisfactory rotational stability and resultant flat trajectories. Buy ten of these cases of bullets and use them to ballast your canoe!Customer Reviews

Good price

My only reason for not rating higher is the lack of cannelure - .357 Mag loads won't stay seated under recoil. I want jacketed bullets for heavy loads. Price and delivery were great.

Zero Bullets 38 Special / 357 Magnum (.357" Diameter) 125 Grain JSP - 500 Projectiles
$64.85Cost Per Bullet 13¢ per bullet Product Type Bullets Bullet Weight 125 Grain Bullet Caliber 357 Mag, 38 Special Quantity 500 Bullet Type Jacketed Soft-Point (JSP) Manufacturer Zero Bullet Manufacturer SKU 103 These .357 inch diameter projectiles from Zero Bullets have an exposed soft lead tip at the crown of their copper jacket for a balance between expansion and penetration that makes them great for self-defense loads or even light game hunting. These bullets weigh 125 grains and are great for versatile use with both .38 Special and .357 Magnum calibers. In addition, Zero Bullets manufactures these Alabama-made bullets with a toothed cannelure on the jacket for proper crimping which prevents the jostling of the projectile from its casing while in the cylinder.
Don't forget to check out Widener's great selection of pistol powders, while you're here.Customer Reviews

Zero Bullets .357" Diameter Bullets - 158 Grain JHP – 500 Count
$64.85Cost Per Bullet 13¢ per bullet Product Type Bullets Bullet Weight 158 Grain Bullet Caliber 357 Mag, 38 Special Quantity 500 Bullet Type Jacketed Hollow-Point (JHP) Manufacturer Zero Bullet Manufacturer SKU 104 This is not loaded ammunition. These component bullets are only useful to handloaders. If you order this box of 500 American-made .357” diameter jacketed hollow point bullets without the equipment and experience you need to reload them, you are 100% wasting your money!
But if you know what to do with these bullets, you’re in for a good time. Zero Bullet Company of Cullman, AL gives each bullet the cannelure it needs to seat securely in the case mouth, as well as a fully jacketed base that vastly reduces lead fouling of the barrel.
The bullet’s jacket exposes a large area of its lead core’s hollow point nose cavity, which will help to promote wider-diameter terminal expansion at lower velocities. These bullets are nonmagnetic, and their broad, flat and circular meplats will cut clean and easy-to-see holes through paper targets. That’s perfect if you’d like to train with the same bullets you would load for self-defense with your 38 Special or 357 Magnum revolver.
The flat nose profile will also gouge a pretty nasty wound channel through soft tissue, even if the bullet lacks sufficient kinetic energy to provide any terminal expansion at all. These bullets are also lever-action safe! -
