Federal’s Versatile Hollow Point bullet is an effective choice for personal protection. But because its design is relatively simple and straightforward, the VHP is not a cost-prohibitive bullet for target practice, either. That makes Federal’s Train + Protect 357 Magnum ammunition perfect for all your revolver and lever-action rifle needs!
This round’s 125 grain jacketed hollow point is set to exit a 4” vented barrel at a velocity that is over 300 fps faster than the speed of sound. As such, the bullet’s energy exceeds the minimum threshold advised for self-defense by approximately twofold. The JHP’s flat nose profile creates a large wound channel right on impact. The lead core’s nose cavity isn’t restricted by jacket, which is why reliably commences terminal expansion even at relatively lower velocities.
Federal loads this dual-purpose 357 Mag ammo in Anoka, MN (a city that also happens to be the self-proclaimed Halloween Capital of the World). Each cartridge is completely nonmagnetic and noncorrosive. Federal’s Boxer-primed virgin brass cases are reloadable.

Since Federal dropped the wonderful 357B from their line, it appears that this is the closest thing now without the nickel-plated case.
