BUFFALO BORE 357 SIG 125Gr FMJ-FN (1425FPS/ME 564 ft lbs) 20rd

Full-Power Loads: Buffalo Bore now offers two full-power .357 SIG loads in response to customer demand. These are not watered-down versions like those produced by other manufacturers.

Design Intent: The .357 SIG was originally engineered to propel a 125gr bullet at 1,425 fps from a 4-inch carry gun barrel—not a longer test barrel. Both Buffalo Bore loadings meet this standard.

Flash Suppression: Both loads use flash-suppressed powder to prevent shooter blindness in low-light conditions. Since over 90% of civilian shootings occur in low light, this feature offers a major tactical advantage.

Item 25A – 125gr Jacketed Hollow Point (JHP):

• Designed for rapid expansion and penetration of approximately 12–14 inches in human tissue.

• Real-world velocity: 1,430 fps (567 ft-lbs) from a Sig Model 229 with a 4-inch barrel.

Item 25B – 125gr Full Metal Jacket Flat Nose (FMJ-FN):

• Engineered for deep penetration—24+ inches in human tissue.

• Capable of punching through barriers like stick frame walls, car doors, and even bear skulls or shoulder bones.

• Real-world velocity: 1,433 fps (575 ft-lbs) from a Sig Model 229 with a 4-inch barrel.

Defensive Strategy: For personal defense, consider loading your pistol with the JHP round in the chamber and first few rounds in the magazine, followed by FMJ rounds. This setup ensures initial stopping power and follow-up penetration through cover.
