Title: .357 Magnum HSM 180gr RNFP HC Bear Load and Hornady 125gr Critical Defense

    These will probably be fairly slow movers based off of other HSM ammos. I just wanted to see another heavy .357 offering. I don't recall seeing anything on the Hornady .357 Critical Defense being posted either.

I Chronographed this before out of the 4" but not the 6". The rating is 1500 FPS.

  The HSM 180gr Hardcast had more power than expected.

HSM 180gr Hardcast (GP100 6") 1326, 1334, 1311. Average = 1323.66 FPS/ 700 LBS  Right there with Doubletap!

Hornady 125gr FTX (GP100 6") 1523, 1553, 1520. Average = 1532 FPS/ 652 LBS
