25 Rounds of .357 Mag Ammo by Hornady Handgun Hunter - 130gr MonoFlex

Hornady developed their Handgun Hunter line of ammunition for full compliance with certain jurisdictions’ bans on lead bullets. This 357 Magnum round’s nontoxic MonoFlex is made of solid copper – but the hard-hitting bullet is hardly a compromise when it comes to terminal performance!

The MonoFlex’s nose cavity contains a rubber-like polymer substance called “elastomer.” When the MonoFlex plunges into a quarry or a threat’s soft tissue, its elastomer filling compresses to promote faster and wider terminal expansion than a traditional JHP could provide.

Copper is much tougher than lead, and the MonoFlex lacks a core and jacket that could separate from each other. That’s how the bullet manages to retain at least 95% of its weight and conserve the momentum it needs to penetrate deeply. The monolithic bullet quite naturally can’t deposit lead fouling in a barrel, and it’s safe for your Henry or other lever-action rifle.

Hornady loads these dual-purpose hunting/self-defense cartridges in Nebraska with top shelf brass cases, Boxer primers and low-fouling propellant. The round’s 1,250 fps muzzle velocity (8” test barrel) enables it to slap a 100-yard target with 297 ft lbs of energy.
