looking for store bought effective 357 hot loads

[sloporsche]

Will being used in colt python 2 and a half inch for bedroom/home defense ...what is the latest

 

[ABlaster]

Everything I have read lately indicates the 125 grain JHP is still king of the .357 self-defense ammo. Not sure about brand, because there is so much marketing nonsense trying to be the next big thing.

they are hotter than 357 loads ? .....where is "super vel" ammo from the 70's lol...that stuff was ninja killing nasty ....and blew up some weapons too

I like the SIG V-Crown loads in 9mm. Specifically designed to ensure full expansion out of short barrels. They have it in 357 and 38 SPL. Academy carries the 9, have to look next time in for the 38/357/

Defensive Rounds & Ammunition | Self-Defense Rounds

SIG SAUER's self-defense ammunition delivers exceptional on-target energy, maximum weight retention & optimal expansion. Shop personal defensive rounds.

EDIT: The V-Crown and Hornady Defense loads are my go to in almost all calibers I carry.

Full blown 357 load for inside the house out a 2.5" . Have you ever shot a 357 in an enclosed space w/o hearing protection ? Possibly in a low light situation ? Best hope there's only 1 & you nail 'em with first shot . If you have to , try it sometime . About a week after the ringing stops you'll be comin' up with another plan .
I grew up on magnum caliber sixguns . At one time my HD plan included a 357 in every room , along with strategically placed shotguns / carbines . Had a situation that involved an actual shooting . Long story short 45acp has replaced the indoor 357's . Much easier on the ears , lot less muzzle flash & enough penetration w/o endangering neighbors .

Honestly, with a .357, I don’t think you need to worry about super hot loads on humans.
I would be more inclined to buy a JHP load that is manageable.

 

[boatbum101]

Pick a caliber that you can shoot well & allows you to make rapid multiple hits on target . 38 special / 9mm or larger preferred , but only if controllable . Can't stop what you can't hit.......

 

[Welldoya]

Reminds me of the old saying “You can’t miss fast enough to win a gunfight.”

Yeah, 45 is my apocalypse, cannibal gas looters go to. While 9mm is my practical carry. ( size,weight, capacity) much rather have a .45. If I have to use something. (G21)
