Default Remington 357 Magnum - 158 gr SWC

Looks like Remington has re-released its 158 gr LSWC 357 Mag loading. Should be a real good woods round, but just be prepared to clean out the leading after shooting a couple of dozen.

It is a real good round and in my opinion a better outdoor round compared to jacketed ammo.

The .357 Remington 158 gr LSWC was an issued FBI round in the 1970s along with the .357 Winchester 158 gr LSWC. I liked the W-W rd a bit better because it had a sharper, wider meplat. You can see the difference below. Don't know if it really made any difference.
