New 357 mag round?

[jeepnuts]

Maybe I’m late to the party but I’ve never seen this before. I came across it and picked some up.
Thought I would share

Heavy for caliber and very fast.

In case you can’t read the box
1510fps
165gr

Part of their new hand gun hunting line.

Per google ai: Backcountry Defense rounds use a unique Dangerous Game Handgun (DGH) bullet for maximum penetration in large animals.

Sounds like a pretty stout loading for the caliber.

Yea hornady website says it is designed not to expand but rather for deep penetration

Next closest I have on the shelf is 145gr@ 1290fps so this new stuff smokes that

So what about these makes them better than standard hard casts? Only real performance difference I see advertised is "less smoke" because it's not a hard cast. Otherwise it sounds like it's designed to do exactly the same thing a HC is supposed to do. The only advantage I see is this is slightly less expensive than the comparable Buffalo Bore loading, which is a 180 grain gas check HC at 1400 fps. Gotta say I'd rather buy Tim Sundles's ammo here than Steve Hornady's.

Not a fan of Hornady. But I know they have a following. Jacketed ammo is a yes especially in magnum. 1500fps is why I load my own. That round will shoot low compared to what you're used too.

I assume that given this bullet weight driven at that high velocity, the data came from a rifle or carbine length barrel, correct?
Not a revolver?

PMC (Korea) 158grn JSP is 1550fps. Out of my Rossi 92 with 20” barrel I get 1750fps. It is an impressive round.
