Magtech .357 Magnum SCHP

magictag · September 29th, 2009, 10:08 PM

I picked up a box of Magtech .357 Magnum SCHP (Solid Copper Hollow Point) ammo. The bullet weight is 95 grains.

What do you know about this ammo? Is 95 grains an OK bullet weight for a self-defense round?

I've got a S&W Model 60.

Thanks in advance.

I never tried it but it sounds fine to me. If you do your part I can't imagine that it wouldn't be fine.

I have tested these and they seem to work just fine....I prefer something heavier in the .357's but I would not be afraid to use that round for carry.
