This round’s 200 grain bullet is a “hard cast wide long nose gas check.” That’s a lot of words. Let’s break it down!
• Hard cast - This means the bullet is made of heavily alloyed lead, and is extraordinarily rigid because of it. A hard cast bullet resists deformation as it tunnels through its target, which enables it to inflict a substantially deeper wound channel than average. • Wide long nose - This refers to the bullet’s shape. Its nose profile is a flat circle, which is especially damaging to soft tissues without the need for terminal expansion. A WLN bullet is naturally equipped for deep penetration, and only becomes more capable when it is hard cast. • Gas check - This means the bullet has an integral gasket that prevents propellant gas leakage. It ensures that more of the cartridge’s available energy is invested into propulsion, which makes the bullet – you guessed it – more powerful.
This Oregon-made ammo is specifically designed to help a 357 Magnum firearm deliver the deepest possible wound channel – perfect for when you’re hunting game that a JHP’s wound column might prove too shallow for. Not ideal for defense against human-sized targets, but certain to create big problems for rude and aggressive critters!
