Frequently Asked Questions
Will this .357 Magnum ammunition work in a .38 Special revolver?
No. While .38 Special revolvers can safely fire .38 Special ammunition, they are not rated for .357 Magnum pressures. The .357 Magnum cartridge is longer and operates at significantly higher chamber pressure than .38 Special. However, the reverse is true: revolvers chambered in .357 Magnum can safely fire .38 Special rounds. Always use only the caliber marked on your firearm's barrel or cylinder.
Is the 158-grain SJHP a good choice for self-defense?
Yes. The 158-grain .357 Magnum load has a long and well-documented history as an effective self-defense round. The semi-jacketed hollow point bullet is designed to expand reliably upon contact with soft tissue, increasing its effective diameter and transferring energy efficiently. Remington's HTP line is specifically engineered for consistent expansion and high weight retention, two qualities that are critical for terminal performance in defensive scenarios.
How should I store this ammunition to maintain its reliability?
Store your Remington HTP ammunition in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and humidity. Remington's Kleanbore priming is non-corrosive, which helps preserve primer integrity over time, but moisture and extreme temperature swings can still degrade performance. Keep rounds in their original box or an airtight ammo storage container, and avoid storing ammunition directly on concrete floors, which can introduce moisture. Properly stored centerfire ammunition can remain reliable for decades.
