Exclamation Just FYI: re a .357mag ammo that's available

Remington HTP .357mag (High Terminal Performance) 180g. @ $39.99 for 50, which according to Remington's website is not re-packaged Express (they call them "P&R", as in pistol & revolver), with Velocity @ 100 listed as 1052 & Energy @ 100 listed as 443 out of a 4" barrel.

I'm supposing this is in ft./sec. & ft./lbs. If so, I think it compares favorably with 140g. Hornady LEVERevolution which claims Velocity of 1143 & Energy of 406 @100, but OUT OF AN 8" barrel.

If Remington's data is accurate, one wonders what the ballistics for that HTP load would be out of an 18" barrel?

Cheers!

p.s. Yes, I acknowledge there well may be a significant difference in the Hornady "Flex tip expanding" bullet vs. the Remington SJHP.

p.p.s. BTW, in .40S&W the HTP 180g. load listed Velocity as 960 & Energy as 368 @ 100, exactly what the Express (P&R) 180g. load did @ 50.

For the record the .357 HTP numbers reported were also out of an 8+ inch test barrel.

The 40S&W was out of a 4" barrel, same claimed velocity and energy at 100 as the Express shows @ 50.

Cheers! & Sorry if there was any confusion.
