If you go back to the 80's when this was one of the best available, the fragmentation was part of the reason these worked so well. The Remington scalloped 125's were the highest rated and also had near explosive performance.

The Bullet and the Performance looks like the old Federal Classic 125 Gr JHP that was so popular and street reliable, back in my Police Revolver Days. This was the load that was declared "King of the Streets" back in the late 70's and early 80's. The Remington was popular also, but everybody wanted the Federal Loading for duty. As a Firearms Instructor in those days who was involved in the investigation of all Officer involved shootings with my Department and several other smaller departments around us, I can say that this was an absolutely devastating round and I personally never saw it fail in the shootings I saw or read reports on. Our Department issued the S&W Model 65 4" and "Defectives" carried the 3" Heavy Barrel. Officers had the option for a Model 19 or 66 with a 4 inch and also the 2 1/2" barrel for plain clothes and off duty. The recoil was a little stiff out of the shorter barrels, but we always had good performance, no matter the gun.

125grn loads like that were THE man stopper rounds in law enforcement service for years but mostly launched through 4" barrels. I was issued a Colt's Trooper III in 1988 and the Federal 125grn loading of the era was what the department issued to me. In that heavy frame revolver, it was like shooting .38Spl +Ps and was very, very accurate.

Good stuff Tools! ALWAYS happy to see 38/357 tested! Just ordered a Henry "Heirloom" 357 Big Boy X with the custom serial number made to be my family name. They're saying it'll be a few months before it comes in but I'm good with that. Also, great demo of how 357 loses SO MUCH VELOCITY in short barrels. I really think anything below 3 inches you're eating all that recoil and blast for little to no gain over 38spl.

Often for nightstand duty I bring out my Taurus 627 tracker with a 6.5" ported barrel. That thing shoots like a dream with low recoil and high accuracy. I highly recommend that 7-shot revolver. Currently, I'm using Federal Hydra-Shok 130 grain low recoil ammo. However, I may have to pick up some of this ammo if it's cheaper and performs just as well. To me that performance looks perfect as I personally like multiple wound channels created by fragments in a self-defense round. But for hunting I prefer rounds that don't fragment too much so I'm not accidentally eating any of that in my meat (or anyone I'm feeding that meat to).

The good Ol' Federal 125 SJHP. Probably the most effective defense load made for a handgun, with the Remington 125 SJHP a close second. These bullets are the exception to the rule that the best defensive handgun bullets stay intact. These things expand fast and those fragments create all kinds of nastiness while the cup and core keep trucking for incredible penetration. On the occasion I carry my Rugers or my Highway Patrolman they're loaded with these. I don't use them in my K frame Smiths, even my 66s and 65 gets .38 Special after I ruined a forcing cone shooting this stuff. Cracked? Hell no it blew a chunk out of it.

Love the way you either show the same ammo out of different length barrels in the same caliber, for comparison... or the same ammo across different calibers (9/40/45) with the same length barrel of each, for comparison. Love me some 357Mag. If I didnt have a 1963 Model Blackhawk 6.5", Id probably get a python. But, my 63 Blackhawk makes a good pairing with my 84 Redhawk 44Mag 7.5". Keep up the great work brother!

I've never shot any of the solid copper expander bullets .I don't anything against them ,they were always a little pricey. all my years of reloading and hunting I knew a sjlhp, flat nose jacketed hollow point like federal, Remington, and especially sierra jhc you could depend on 357dia.1000fps and above. I'm bigon xtp but I have to bust them up to get the expansion and penetration I desire .no knock on xtp except 380acp and 38special. 357mag through 45colt does a number on deer size game.

Thanks for the testing. Makes me appreciate 357 sig out of 5 inch barrel with very comparable foot-pounds of energy to the 125 tested in the Python with the six inch barrel. This from a 115 grain xtp. My current load averaged out of 10 rounds 1630 fps with 678 foot-pounds of energy. Havent tried 125s in the 357 sig yet as I can put a little more powder behind the 115s and have been happy with the result. Couple that with the ability to be semi auto and take magazines, I'm not sure why 357 sig hasn't caught on more yet. However, its picking up steam as I just recently discovered how well it actually does and am now fully invested in loading and shooting it.

TOOLS! Bro, can you please test out some of that “American Sniper” 9mm 124 grain JHP defensive load? They have Chris Kyle on the box and it actually says “A Chris Kyle Brand”. Let’s see if it is worthy of the name - Chris Kyle!

I love running 357 mag it's one of the funner handgun rounds i own and you can run 38 special too.. i prefer the hot stuff for defense but for plinking the 38 special is pretty nice.. the fire ball and recoil of the 357 is addictive lol might not be a heavy bullet or big around like a 10mm or 45 but they are always moving really fast and I imagine it's a pretty potent round

Yep. Always one of the more fun calibers. Strong enough to get the blood pumping but not break your hand.😂

Pretty sure that is the same bullet they loaded in the old 357B. Back then it had nickel plated casings. I have some of each and can't tell the difference but need to chrono it.

very good preforming round and good choice on the test guns barrel length. interesting to see what that 6 inch did with this ammo.

Ah. The Python escaped the safe. The jelly jumped pretty good out of the Python. I think I should get some of this and run it out of a 4''' barrel. I don't like the frag but do like the energy dump. That should bust a bone and put it somewhere else. Nice test. I like the .357.

Awesome test!! Love the silver snake, absolutely beautiful! Is it a newer model Colt? As for ammo performance, it did exactly what it was supposed to; it is after all the goldilocks weight for .357Mag. Winchester, Remington both have a similar load to this in 125gr, all SJHP's; maybe worth looking for those to test?

There’s just something about a .357 revolver that gets the heart pumping. Few rounds warrant the use of the term fragspansion but you found another one. 👍 Great test and results. 😎🫡🇺🇸👊

Wow! Impressive with the snubby for sure! But my favorite barrel length in revolvers is 6” and boy that sure would do the job on 2 and 4 legged critters. I will keep my eye out for these. Fantastic test good sir. 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸

Surgical nightmare! Damn! I'll admit I am NOT a fan of wheelguns except as a last ditch carry (i.e. ankle gun) but at least with this load? It would be worth it. Now if you're Rick Grimes hunting down zombies? As long as you got one of those in the dome of each of the undead? You're in good shape!

This video actually just sent me down a bit of a rabbit hole and I found testing of Corbon 357 Sig 125gr. Basically the same bullet size and weight. Corbon got those up to 1650+ (edit: I now think this was a chrono error because his other videos were at 1450ish) in a Glock 19. Unbelievable. Double tap also has a 1500+ load.
