Hi, well living in NY my choices are limited to be shipped to my door. Here are a couple target/practice ammos I found for my Henry .357 Big Boy Carbine. I may be purchasing a 3" 686-6+ down the line. Anyone familiar with them? Thanks


Precision One 357 Magnum PONE72 158 Grain Full Metal Jacket 50 rounds

Fiocchi 357 MAG 142gr FMJ Truncated Cone F357F 50 per box

I've never shot the Precision 1 but I've shot plenty of Fiocchi, never had a problem with it.

Have you looked on ammoseek for prices on .357mag

No experience with Precision One. Lots of Fiocchi over the years without issue, though never that particular load.

Might want to look at Norma's webb site, they have decent prices, discounts, and free shipping.

I believe I shot some of that Fiocchi load at a range where you have to buy the ammo you shoot. My recollection is, like all Fiocchi ammo I’ve shot, that it’s good ammo.

Thanks guys. I ended up ordering 4 boxes of Fiocchi and 2 boxes of the Precession One. I'll let you know the outcome!

Only shot Fiocchi 9mms, was good. Any .357 is still hard to find in my area.

I shoot the Fiocchi 357’s. They are relatively mild to average, load-wise. A nice target round.

I shot some of that fiocchi ammo in the past, the batch that I had would do 1400 FPS in my 5” trr8.

No 357s so far, but any Fiocchi ammo I have shot has been very consistent.

Between me and the wife we have shot a few different calibers and loads of Fiocchi ammo. Good stuff!

In my experience Precision One is a great outfit, fast shipper and superior customer service. Don't have experience with their 357 but buy all my .38 Special from them.

I've got thousands upon thousands of rounds from those two through my weapons with not one issue.

No experience with Precision One but lots of range time with Fiocchi. When S&W sold trade marked ammo Fiocchi was the manufacturer. Good ammo, they make a .38 wad cutter load that rivals anyone's.

Fiocchi is great ammo, never an issue.

I am not familiar with the other brand.

Back in the distant past, probably 1980’s, S&W marketed Fiocchi ammo under their own name. It was marked S&W-f and was good stuff. Still have some 357 brass kicking around somewhere. This was when Smith was marketing all kinds of stuff with their name on it. Their ploy was dealers had to buy so much other “stuff” before they could buy the revolvers that were in high demand, 27’s and 29’s especially. This led to a glut of ammo and primers on the market for wholesale prices. I bought thousands of S&W primers for $15/1000. The good old days!

Have shot a bunch of Fiocchi ammo with no issues , I have not however shot that particular load. I would expect the quality to be good as theirs has always been. The other brand I have no personal knowledge of.

I have been shooting a lot of Fiocchi ammo lately in 45 colt and not any problems. Shooting it in my Model 25's and Marlin Lever. Looking for 357 mag I got some PMC from Ammunition Depot.

Can't speak to Precision 1, one but Fiocchi has been awesome to me. I prefer S&B or Armscor because that is what my LGS usually has, but Fiocchi is probably my third favorite.
