    The 110gr load was made as a mid-range loading as an alternative to full power loads. Much easier to control, yet more power than .38+P or .38+P+. Winchester and Federal loaded identical loadings. Remington also loaded a 125gr mid-range at 1,235fps from the 4"ers. They were very good loads for the moderately trained but the semi-automatic was eclipsing the revolver. It seems for .36 caliber service sidearms, 110-115grns at 1300fps or 124-125grns at 1250fps seem to be the best balance for the well trained pistolero......

    Back in the 80s & 90s before XTP, Gold Dot & such we called these Remington Rosebuds. And we found the 44 magnum 240s and 357 Magnum 125, 140 & 158s to all be very reliable mushroom/expansion in all of our crude media we shot them in.....Water jugs, wet & dry newspapers and magazines, sand & etc. The old Hornady JHP & these semi-jacketed Remington outperformed Sierra, Speer, Winchester. Huge thanks.

      The original 357 loading was a 158gr bullet at over 1500fps, so yeah, it's been downloaded. S&W K frame revolvers were being damaged in the 80's from a steady diet of Magnum rounds before they came out with the L frame. Don't know if that what you heard, and I can't say if that's the reason the round got downloaded.

    Way back in the late 1980s when I was just starting my LEO career (dispatching and reserving the first couple years), I had a S&W Model 66 2 1/2" barrel and 110 gr SJHP .357s are what I carried in it. For a time I had a 4" Model 19 and that's what I had in it simply because that was all the factory HPs I had on hand (I was poor then, LOL). Later I got some 125s and even started reloading and experimenting. I kept the 110s in the snubby because I could shoot it much faster and they still shot to point of aim.
    I learned later on that they were less powerful than the 125s to prevent flame cutting of the top strap of the old K-frames, and probably weren't the "best" for self-defense overall. However, in a straight-on face-to-face shooting, I imagine they'd have been fine. Fortunately, I didn't have to find out for sure. ;) Anyway, Remington 125s are what are in my .357s today.

  • @hillbillyscholar8126
    @hillbillyscholar8126 15 วันที่ผ่านมา +65

    The 110 grain load is slower by design. It is loaded that way to prevent flame cutting by the forcing cone. It has to do with the timing of the bullet jump through the cylinder gap and the peak of the pressure curve. Great test!

      My thoughts exactly! Plus the possibility of bullet core construction is, likely designed for controlled expansion at that velocity and bullet weight combined, but it's performance shown in the video, was only marginally better, from what 110's typically do for penetration. Great video T&T.

    • @Ifoughtpiranhas
      @Ifoughtpiranhas 15 วันที่ผ่านมา +6

    Good test Tools. I generally don't like 110gr since the old days when 110gr would cause flame cutting on revolvers. Probably old wives tales but you never see 110gr practice ammo anyway so I avoid it, also sometimes they have a fireball effect. But that 125gr did great I think.

But for the ladies tough enough for a 357 snub the 110 might just offer a great compromise. One thing you can't convey other than to just tell us is how ear-splitting loud those 125s are from a 2".

    Great review! As old time law enforcement stats show .357 Magnum 125 grain HP has a 90 to 98% stopping power.... Cartridges such as .357 Magnum in that grain weight were never the issue, capacity for future law enforcement (ie More cartridges such as 15 cartridges of 9MM) to equate that .357 Magnum stopping power in 125 grain is why so many 9MM cartridges are needed to stop the perp! . .357 Magnum in 125 grain does not have that problem.

The 2 men git to fighting. Father-in-law shoots son-in-law in the chest with a 230gr FMJ, .45. Bullet hits the breast bone, turned straight down, and nicked the liver.

    I believe that the manufacturer's adjust the velocity of the rounds to match the bullets performance. The 110 may just explode at a higher velocity so they lower the velocity to match bullet performance.
    I believe that is why you will see some defensive cartridges that usually run at higher velocities, clocking in at slower speeds than the Sammi spec for the cartridge. They build the velocity to the bullet, not to the spec of the cartridge.

    125 in 2” or 3” is an outstanding choice
    I’ve carried 110 and 125 in these barrel lengths
    Practice with 110 grain is very light recoil in Ruger SP101
    I’m thinking the Federal 125 grain is a bit harder lead composition and is my choice in 5-6” revolvers
    However, heavier weight bullets in longer barrels gives better penetration with comparable expansion

    My old issue duty ammo was Super Vel 125. gr. Spicy stuff! These looked good and out of my ported 3" K frame sized gun, 125gr. is my choice. Great job as always!

    Great snubby test! That 125 is pretty spicy from the 2”. Definitely one I’d carry if I put the 642 in my pocket. Very rarely but I do once in a while. Another great short barrel test my friend 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸

    The 110’s would probably be a good choice for one of the LW 2 inch tools. The 125’s would be a great choice for my 2.5 Mod 19. I’ve used the 158’s in my lever gun but not the lighter weights. Thanks for another jelly test Tools!

    Remington has made this bullet for years and it expands nicely. For the reloader, if you mess up and want to pull the bullet. Good luck!

    Hey, thanks for great content as usual.
    I have a video idea for 357 mag: Federal American Eagle 158 grain jacketed soft point is not a "premium" round. Federal markets it as an ammunition that is useful for target shooting and self defense if necessary. What's interesting though is that as far as comparable 357 mag is concerned, it is relatively inexpensive and widely available. Some have speculated that it could be an awesome deer hunting round if fired from a lever action rifle because the soft point would expand more than from a revolver but still get good penetration. It would be interesting to see how this "budget" 357 ammo compares to the premium stuff

  • @clutchcargo1239
    @clutchcargo1239 15 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Good test, I like the .357 magnum. The shortest barrel I have is 3" on my S&W Model 66 and my new Python. Got a 4" and a 6" barrel, too... I've bought a few of these rounds. Figured they'd probably frag. I bet they would frag with the longer barrels, and penetration would probably be reduced. Anyway, thanks for sharing!! 😊

    The 110 grain JHP from Winchester & 125 grain JHP from Remington were my carry rounds for many years in my Ruger SP101 3" & about the flame cutting thing someone else mentioned in the comments I never saw it happen after 1,000s of those two loads in either of my two Rugers.

  • @Swampytheroot
    @Swampytheroot 14 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Back in the 70s and 80s, Rugers Speed Six & Security Six snubbies (I think they're 3") had a warning in the metal of the barrel not to run 110gr 357. It was my understanding that loaded to full pressure, the 110 grain projectile, due to the shorter length, could leave the shell inside the chamber when another round was fired. Kinda like a kinetic or inertia bullet puller.
    Thinking maybe that's why this is loaded a good bit lighter.

  • @robertkubrick3738
    @robertkubrick3738 14 วันที่ผ่านมา

    125. I have two 6 inch revolvers, I like the longer sight radius and the little extra power over a 4 inch is appreciated too. I hardly use the revolvers because I stopped reloading and factory ammo is so watered down, I just bought a 9mm and if I need more than that I use a 44 Magnum or a rifle.

  • @robertseafield5810
    @robertseafield5810 8 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Either one is OK with me. I would probably use the 110 gr in a lightweight revolver.

  • @stacysid2
    @stacysid2 14 วันที่ผ่านมา

    I concur. I run the proven Federal 357B in my 340PD. Yes it's painful! That's the only 357 round I carry in any length barrel. The Remington 125gr would be my second choice.

  • @angrysheepdog9744
    @angrysheepdog9744 14 วันที่ผ่านมา

    TT's gonna need the tweezers to clean up these blocks. I'd go with the 125gr but I totally agree with you the 110 should have been blazing towards 1400fps not 1100.

  • @jasonjackson1402
    @jasonjackson1402 15 วันที่ผ่านมา

    This stuff was my favorite commercial load for .357 Magnum before I learned about full power loads from Underwood, Buffalo Bore, etc. Might not be "true" .357 Magnum power, but it performs decently enough if you can't get good premium stuff.

    I'm not a huge fan of that 110, but I can see it have a niche, better performance than 38 special without the recoil and report of a heavy .357 round.

    Running the 158gr HTP out of a 6" S&W 686 for deer. I don't recall exact numbers, but I was getting over 1300 fps on the chrono at the muzzle. Seems kinda spicey for 158gr a boolit. Best I could get with handloads was about 1200 fps with a 158gr XTP & W296.

  • @hoffpbass
    @hoffpbass 15 วันที่ผ่านมา

    The 158gn 38spl in HTP is awesome. Assume they load it in 357mag. Would love to see both those rounds side by side out of this same 2".
    Great test, Tools. Found some viewers a very fine round.

    I would LOVE to see you test .357 Federal Hammer Down 170 grain Bonded Hollow points. They’re saying 1650fps with 988 ft pounds of energy on the box and federal is usually pretty accurate with their box stats. It’s a mean round and it’s up there with buffalo boar 125 but with a lot bigger bullet.

  • @Stoogeman762x39

    Nice to see a Remington round perform well. Generally speaking, most of their defensive ammo is junk. Even their fmj stuff is slow compared to most other ammo makers.

  • @joeblowfromidaho3642
