Back in 2012, I was contacted by AmmoForSale.com and asked if I’d be willing to review some ammunition. I said yes and then promptly got busy with life. Well, at long last, here is the review!
As a quick reminder, this is Fiocchi .357 Magnum 125gr SJHP.
We were shooting it out of my Smith & Wesson 686, with a 4″ barrel, and my dad’s Marlin model 1894c.
My past experience with Fiocchi it’s that it’s loaded hotter than other types of factory ammunition. However, the 686 handled the recoil just fine and the Marlin was a joy to shoot.
The only hang up that we had was with the Marlin. If the action was not cycled quickly, the front of the round would catch on the upper lip of the chamber, deforming the lead. Greater than usual force was then needed to chamber the round. However, when cycled quickly, no hang ups were experienced.
Whatever the use, Fiocchi .357 Magnum 125gr SJHP from AmmoForSale.com is a solid buy.
