.......357 Magnum 170 Grain Keith Wide Nose Semi Wadcutter Hardcast Ammo........




Friends,

I have 10-100 round boxes of 357 Magnum 170 Grain Semi Wadcutter Hardcast ammo, produced in new Starline brass.

This is a wide nose Elmer Keith design, and is an extremely accurate bullet.







Velocity as tested:

6" Ruger Security 6 1,350 FPS
2.5" Model 19 K Frame 1,050FPS







********************READ THIS*****************

This is a true Elmer Keith designed 170 grain projectile, and loaded properly. As such, the cartridge overall length (COAL)may be too long for some guns (like certain older Colts). In fact, this bullet was designed prior to the advent of the .357 magnum. The .357 Magnum has a SAAMI COAL of 1.59" (which is often too short for the use of many heavy bullets in the 170-180 grain range), and this ammo is loaded to 1.63".

This ammunition loads and functions perfectly fine in Smith & Wesson K Frame and Ruger .357 Magnums. If you have any doubt, measure your cylinder before you purchase.

This ammo was developed using S&W K Frames, and a Ruger Security 6.

***********************************************************


Like all the ammo sold, these are sold in 100 round increments.


I have 10-100 round boxes ready to go.






Just info, here are two 5 shot groups. Shot at 50 yards and 75 yards.
Obviously the pistol was not zeroed for the load, but it demonstrates the accuracy. The group shown in the upper left that is a tad over 1" is the 75 yard group.




Pretty good bullet design and quite a while was spent fine tuning this load to find the "sweet spot", where the accuracy and velocity were optimal. This is where the two really came together.






THE PRICE INCLUDING SHIPPING AND INSURANCE IS $115 TO YOUR DOOR PER 100 ROUND BOX.

I take Venmo, USPS Money order, or checks (once cleared by the bank). I do not take paypal.

If you want to pay by credit card, you can order directly off the website, which is here:

CONUS only, and I do not ship to, MA, DC, NY, CT, CA or other locations with restrictions. IL will require a FOID card sent prior to shipment. These cannot be shipped to a PO Box.

This is the load my oldest daughter carried this last fall working as a cowboy/wrangler for an outfitter/guide in Idaho's backcountry. She carried it in a 2.5" Model 19 .357 Magnum. The one shown above.



Plenty of bears, lions and wolves in Idaho and I felt like this was pretty much the optimal gun and load for her while working on horseback and around camps.

Awesome bullet for that cartridge!

Thanks Frogman

It definitely is a great bullet. Lots of animals have been taken with it over the years.
