Federal Premium 357 Magnum
Written: Aug 6, 2012
Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
Pros:Good knockdown power and weight retention
Cons:Expensive
The Bottom Line: Federal Premium ammunition is made for personal defense and hunting for better results
Federal Premium 357 Magnum 158 gr Hydra-Shok bullets Ammunition is getting more and more expensive and if you use a gun as a tool you need the best ammunition for the job like Federal Premium.
Federal Premium is a line of ammunition in many popular calibers that is designed to get the most out of whatever cartridge you are using. The 357 Magnum is known as a good stopper and is used in lots of personal defense situations by police officers and citizens with concealed carry permits. 357 Magnum is also used for hunting and will kill deer with proper shot placement.
These cartridges are loaded with 158 grain Hydra-Shok bullets. Hydra-Shok is a bullet type loaded by Federal in their higher end handgun ammunition with a large hollow point with a center post. The bullet is driven at high velocity with terminal results of high expansion with increased penetration to really anchor the target. Whether for hunting or personal defense, Hydra-Shok bullets are proven stoppers. I use these in my S&W Model 27 357 Magnum for deer and small game hunting and use Hydra-Shoks in several other chamberings like 10mm Auto and 45 ACP for concealed carry.
Federal Premium Personal Defense Ammunition is an excellent choice with accuracy and hard hitting terminal performance.
Law enforcement agencies and concealed carry permit holders are both users of Hydra-Shok loaded cartridges and they will also anchor game with good knock down power and mushroom shaped bullets that retain their mass due to the advanced design. 357 Magnum 158 gr Hydra-Shok bullet Ballistics Muzzle Velocity: 1240 fps Muzzle Energy: 539 ft lbs
