Buffalo Bore Tactical Short Barrel 357 Magnum ammunition delivers serious defensive performance from revolvers and short-barreled pistols where velocity often falls short of standard loadings. This 158-grain jacketed hollow point load is engineered specifically for the performance window of compact and snub-nose .357 Magnum firearms, where barrel length limits velocity. Whether you're running a classic short-barrel revolver for close-quarters defense or carry work, Buffalo Bore's tactical loading ensures expansion and penetration that standard full-power .357 rounds won't reliably deliver from shorter tubes.
Buffalo Bore has built a reputation for ammunition designed around real-world firearm applications rather than theoretical maximums. The Tactical line respects the physics of short-barrel ballistics—acknowledging that 2–3 inch barrels need a different approach than 4–6 inch service revolvers. The 158-grain hollow point configuration balances penetration with consistent expansion, a critical combination in defensive scenarios where both over- and under-performance create problems.
Each box contains 20 rounds, making it practical for defensive stockpiling, training evaluation, and duty rotation. For shooters running short-barrel .357 Magnum revolvers in defensive roles, this ammunition offers a purpose-built alternative to loads optimized for full-size barrels.

Buffalo Bore's Tactical Short Barrel line is specifically designed for the ballistic environment of snub-nose and compact revolvers. Standard .357 Magnum ammunition is optimized for longer barrels; this loading ensures reliable performance and expansion from barrels typically 2–3 inches long, where velocity is naturally reduced.
Yes. The 158-grain hollow point configuration and Buffalo Bore's engineering focus on real-world revolver performance makes this ammunition well-suited for defensive applications in short-barrel .357 Magnum firearms.
Each box contains 20 rounds. Determine your total round count by multiplying the number of boxes you order by 20.
