What is the hottest heaviest 357 ammo?

 

[Venom1956]

I'd probably go with .357 maximum?

No I'm just talking about .357 magnum.

I would guess a Buffalo Bore 180gr load. They load their ammo hot and the 180s are the heaviest loaded in 357 Magnum cases.

Buffalo Bore or Underwood.

Id say buffalo bore. I shot some of the 45 lc and I can say they are not afraid to load hot! I load my 44s perty hot and they dont even come close. Ill never buy them for my 45 lc again. It was too much for sure.

My thinking is that many .357 cylinders have more than enough steel to handle hot loads. Elmer Keith worked up hot .44 specials for that reason and .357 SAA's have way more steel than .44 spl.

I did not know about Underwood. All they have is hollow points though.
Double Tap has some 200 grain ammo which seems like it might be a good deer and wild hog load.

Corbon has a .200 gr 357 round. I haven't used it myself but have read some favorable reviews. If I were going hunting with a .357 firearm, it would probably be with either Buffalo Bore or Corbon.
