Description
Remington UMC .357 Magnum ammunition represents a practical middle ground for the serious revolver owner or pistol shooter who wants dependable performance without premium pricing. Manufactured at Remington's Lonoke, Arkansas facility, each round pairs factory-fresh brass with Kleanbore primers to ensure consistent ignition and reliable function through your revolver or pistol.
125 Grain Jacketed Soft Point Design
The 125 grain soft point bullet strikes a balance between velocity and controlled expansion. Moving downrange at 1450 feet per second with 583 foot-pounds of muzzle energy, this weight class offers quick handling characteristics and relatively mild recoil compared to heavier .357 loads. The jacketed soft point construction expands upon impact while maintaining penetration, making it suitable for a wider range of applications than full metal case rounds. At these velocities, the 125 grain performs well in standard four-inch barrels and longer, giving you consistent ballistics whether you're running a service revolver or a longer-barrel hunting platform.
Built for High-Volume Shooting
UMC ammunition has earned its reputation as the go-to choice for folks who shoot regularly without breaking the bank. The brass cases are reloadable, appealing to handloaders looking to stretch their ammunition budget further. Kleanbore primers burn clean and ignite reliably, which means fewer misfires and better cycling through semi-automatic platforms. Whether you're running a training day, zeroing a new gun, or stocking up for range sessions, this ammunition feeds smoothly and ejects cleanly.
Practical Performance for Your Purpose
This load works well for practice, hunting small to medium game, and general marksmanship work. The 125 grain soft point offers enough velocity and expansion characteristics for coyotes, hogs, and similar-sized game at reasonable distances, while still maintaining the soft-shooting character that makes practice sessions more enjoyable. The reloadable brass means you get extra value from every shooting session, whether you're handing them off to someone who reloads or saving them for future projects.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Remington UMC .357 Magnum 125 grain suitable for hunting?
Yes, the 125 grain soft point works well for hunting small to medium-sized game like coyotes and hogs at reasonable distances. The soft point design provides controlled expansion for effective terminal performance. Lighter bullet weights like the 125 grain are generally preferred for self-defense and varmint hunting due to their higher velocity and reliable expansion characteristics.
Can I reload these .357 Magnum cases?
Absolutely. Remington UMC ammunition uses reloadable brass cases with standard Boxer primers, making it an economical choice for handloaders. The factory-fresh brass quality means you get reliable reloading performance for multiple rounds downrange.
How does 125 grain compare to heavier .357 loads?
The 125 grain load is noticeably lighter than the common 158 grain alternative, which means lower recoil and faster bullet velocity at the muzzle. This makes it easier to shoot accurately and more manageable in lighter-framed revolvers, though 158 grain loads provide more penetration if that's your priority.
Will this ammunition work in my .357 Magnum revolver?
Yes, standard .357 Magnum revolvers chamber this ammunition without any issues. The Remington UMC round is manufactured to industry specifications and feeds reliably through all properly functioning revolvers and pistols chambered in .357 Magnum.
