The 180 grain #8370 Full Profile Jacket (FPJ) bullet was designed specifically for Handgun Metallic Silhouette competition, where toppling heavy steel targets demands a bullet with substantial momentum. Introduced in 1984 for the 357 Maximum cartridge, this bullet excels in high-pressure applications, offering superior accuracy and reliable performance. Its heavy weight ensures maximum energy transfer, making it ideal for both competitive shooting and hunting. The cannelure is carefully positioned to achieve the correct overall length and crimp for revolvers chambering .38 Special, .357 Magnum and other similar cartridges. Though non-expanding, the 180 grain FPJ has proven its effectiveness in the field, delivering deep penetration on large game like bears and wild boar. This versatile bullet is suitable for revolvers, single-shot pistols and rifles, making it a great choice for everything from competitive shooting to hunting in rugged conditions.
