Buffalo Bore Ammunition 357 Magnum Short Barrel 140 Grain Barnes TAC-XP Hollow Point Low Flash Lead-Free 20RD$43.11
Availability: In Stock
Buffalo Bore 357 Magnum short barrel ammunition pairs a proven defensive hollow point with modern ballistics engineering. Built around the Barnes TAC-XP bullet—a solid copper design with a hollow cavity that expands on impact—this loading delivers reliable performance from compact wheelguns and snubbies where velocity is lower and shot placement matters most. At 125 grains, the projectile is light enough to maintain velocity through shorter barrels while retaining energy transfer needed for consistent expansion. The lead-free construction makes this round safe for indoor ranges and shooters concerned with environmental exposure, and the low-flash powder reduces muzzle signature in low-light scenarios.
Defensive ammunition demands consistency, and Buffalo Bore maintains tight quality control on each box. This isn't range fodder—it's purpose-built for carry guns and home-defense scenarios where reliability and terminal performance are non-negotiable. The 20-round box format is practical for shooters who rotate stock and keep ammunition fresh, or for those building a defensive battery across multiple platforms.
If you carry a short-barrel 357 Magnum revolver—whether a snub-nose for backup, an EDC wheelgun, or a truck gun—this load respects the ballistic reality of compact frames while delivering the stopping potential that makes the .357 Magnum a respected cartridge. It's the kind of ammunition that works equally well for practice shoots at known distances and serious defensive carry.
| Caliber | 357 Magnum |
| Bullet Weight | 125 Grain |
| Bullet Type | Barnes TAC-XP Hollow Point |
| Material | Lead-Free (Solid Copper Projectile) |
| Rounds Per Box | 20 |
| Powder Type | Low Flash |
Yes. Buffalo Bore specifically designed this load for short-barrel platforms where standard 357 Magnum loads may produce excessive recoil or muzzle blast. The 125-grain bullet weight and optimized powder charge are intended to perform reliably from compact wheelguns.
The Barnes TAC-XP is a solid copper hollow point designed to expand consistently on impact. The solid copper construction provides superior penetration and expansion characteristics compared to traditional lead-core designs, and it's inherently lead-free.
This is defensive ammunition optimized for terminal performance rather than cost-effective practice. While you can shoot it for training, many shooters reserve dedicated defensive loads for carry and use less expensive practice ammunition for range work.
The lead-free construction makes this ammunition suitable for indoor ranges that prohibit lead. The low-flash powder also reduces muzzle flash in enclosed spaces, though always follow your range's specific ammunition policies.
